    Looks like a pretty solid car to start with.  Keep us posted with your progress.   :2thumbs:

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    Some more  :picture: about floorpan, she has not much rust or holes  in it, except the trunk floor.  :2thumbs: So she is fairly easy project for bodywork.  :bigsmile:

    Even that trunk floor isn't that bad.  Might not need to have a full replacement?

    I like the black with red guts.  That is exactly what I am doing to my car.  Black exterior with red inside every where.

    That really is a very solid project.   What are your plans anyway?
    Are you going to restore it like original?

    That trunk floor is very thin in some parts, and have couple of rust holes. But thats ok, because i get all new trunk floor with her, when i bought her.  :bigsmile: I think, i will stay that original, what was FE5 rally red exterior with black vinyl top and black side stripe. And black interior.  :bigsmile: She's not gonna be no R/T / SE clone, but i still have plans for some R/T parts for her, atleast rallye hood and rear valance panel with exhaust cut outs.  :bigsmile: And meaby rallye cluster too.  :bigsmile:

    Yeah! That's a good colored car.

    Those upgrades are definitely worth doing!

    Thanks to all, i will send more  :picture: Straight away, when i will move back to eastern Finland again.  :2thumbs: There is 6 long weeks to wait, until i can move, but i think it's still going real fast. Now i have time to make plans for her, or i think i will stay those older plans, what i tell you before.  :bigsmile:
