I look forward to watching this one come together. sounds like you are starting out with a nice car. I have owned mine for a long time 14 yrs, but it was swiss cheese after I had it blasted.
The body is in pretty good shape. There is no rust in the floorpans, but the paint is bubbling a little behind the rear wheels and the small tears are starting in the rear corners of the back seat windows.
Since I installed the new drivetrain, I have noticed some deformation behind the windows as well. I need to add some sub-frame connectors ASAP to put a stop to that.
Does anybody know if there is a big difference in function between the weld-in vs. bolt-in sub-frame connectors?
