1970 Restoration Begins

[bobbo52]

The restoration of my baby begins today, the boss (AKA the wife) let me make my first parts purchase, top and bottom radiator hoses. I have had the car for about 5 months but due to work related injury and moving and Christmas there has not been any money to start. Now the fun starts. I am going to get the car running again, it ran when I got it but the radiator was full of gunk and it was leaking a bit around the thermostat. Here is a picture of my baby, her name is Serenity because that is the way that I feel when I am working or driving her.

Frame the first receipt as it will be the Cheapest order you will ever make. Parts don't cost much until you realize it needs EVERYTHING Have fun! Brian
