When I first saw this car I thought it was great, the body isn't too bad off and the guy got it lowered, he's even going to give me the little profile wheels he got for it :) I just got it today (5/2/04) and the best part... I got it for free! I got it from one of my dad's friends. :) The car isn't in well too of shape right now. Mostly surface rust but there are a few bad spots the interior is horrible. The windows have leaks and it rains all the time in Northern California. Well I'm young, I have some time, I might as well as put it in this thing. There is a major problem though... I don't have a job... if I fix that I run out of time to work on it...

Hi Kenneth; To bad about the motor. You should try to sell it rather than scrap it. Someone will buy it.

Man, do not junk this car! Put a 4 sale sign on it and sell it to someone else. Hell, you could give it away!! This is partly why these cars ( and old cars in general are so scarce. But I digress. It was fun while it lasted tho, wasn't it? Good luck with your next project>
