I stripped the car completly,and cut the rusted floor pans etc. out,everything was rebuilt with help from good friends.I scraped about 70lbs of crap from the bottom of the car with a gasket scraper and a fantastic electric tool called MBX,there is nothing that comes close to the MBX.

If you are going to restore a car,start by building or renting a car stand that you can roll the car in.And get lots of boxes for the bolts and stuff and label each box left fender etc.You think you´ll remember where everything goes.....you won´t,,, trust me;-)
