Rough; no carpet, kick panels or package tray. Dash looks like it was hand-painted. Upholstery is acceptable but worn. Headliner torn and needs to be replaced. Door panels are acceptable for driver quality, which is fine with me since this is not to be a show vehicle.

VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
pVehicle currently u
on jack stands to complete work on re-building the brake system. Need to remove BTV master cylinder to install/replace copper crush washers on hydraulic line split. Once brake system is once again operational, will put car back on wheels to work on replacing left exhaust manifold, which is broken at flange.

pEngine appears to work fine. Fuel pum
re-built and carb is working fine, may be re-built later. Tightening pan bolts on transmission cured small fluid leak.

pRust-free replacement front fenders obtained as well as re-chromed front bumper. Obtained NOS center front grille section as well as parking light assemblies and side scallo
trim pieces. Rear bumper needs to be replaced and re-chromed unless I can find decent pieces.

pRocker panels are rusted through and replacement panels have been obtained. Same with lower rear quarter panels. Once I learn how to work my MIG welder, look out!

pWindshield and rear window are in good condition. Side windows are bubbling and the lamination is separating, so they are slated for replacement.

pRear seat is in decent shape but front seat is useable but should be re-done. Trim panels on doors are good but carpet is missing as are the front kick panels. Have the trim to fabricate replacement kick panels.
