    Looks great sitting in my garage!
    So now that I've stripped the vinyl off, is it officially a restoration project?

    B5 True Blue Poly. Just beautiful.
    I hope to have the carpet out in the next couple of days to see the floor pans.

    My son came home from work ready to work some more.



    Found the broadcast sheet...



    ...and a paint codes sheet under the carpet.



    The floor pans are in great shape!



    The trunk pan has one hole.

    I love the color.  :2thumbs: Can't wait to get the thing painted.



    I got the grille off today. Wadda ya think? Will it go back together? I'm gonna try.



    So, except for the dash, we've got the interior and the trunk gutted.



    I leave tomorrow for work. Be gone 28 days. Hopefully my son will get quite a bit more disassembly done.
    So far it's gone alot quicker than I expected. The pace of the reassembly will be dictated by the budget.
    I'll be home for 28 days at a time, so it won't take long to burn up the dollars. :money:

    More of the front end removed by my son.







    I'm glad he's interested in helping out!
