VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
pThe lady I bought it from was going to restore it, but do to a death in the family (her brother was the mechanic and was going to do all the work) she decided to list it on eBay. I found it when the relisted it and when I went to see it in person, I fell in love. I paid 34, which I think was a sweet deal since it runs, has no rust cancer problems (just some surface rust...nothing sand paper won&rsquot fix) and is fairly strait (minus a few small dings here and there). Had I found it a day later, this beauty would've been dismantled and sold for parts. As she figured it would net her a lot more money that way. Which I&rsquom sure she was right.

Currently I'm working on getting the engine to run a bit smoother and fix a small transmission leak. Then it'll be time to sand down the rust spots and primer them till I can afford to have it painted. Since it needs new tires I was going to get some fencer rims but I've decided stock will look just perfect once I get a different two tone paint job.
