Thanks for the compliments, I think I really lucked out. I knew the car wasn't rusty other than some window channel stuff I dealt with before but I half expected a couple of surprises. I was cleaning some crud out of the drain hole on the passenger quarter and found a mag lug washer stuck in there, pulled that out and found something else - a LH mag lug nut that I must have lost in there during high school. I converted my car from the left hand lugs on the drivers side after I had my driver's front tire almost fall off in 1986. Between the time I got this thing in 86 and now, it was only outside for about 3 years. The rest of the time it has been in the garage in various states of disrepair. Yeah I talked to the paint guy and we're going to tow it to his shop on the 8th of november for him to check it out and give me the final "ok" that he'll do it. I tried to work it out so I could just leave it there that day but he's got one other car to finish up before he can do mine. At this point it may be late January or early February before I get it back but I'm on the schedule and that will leave me a little more time to save money and get the powertrain stuff ready to go in. Good thing I have a friend with a trailer.
Bob - the thing that is funny is for as long as I have known you I don't think you have ever seen the car in one color.
I hardly remember it myself. Your B5 car might have been a better candidate, but you had other stuff going on at the time, oh well. Oh yeah, can you share the place that dipped your car? It's the same place that did Ron's Woodie right?
Here's some old pics of my window channel repairs and car in barn pics....(these are all my car)
