How long is the list to get it road worthy? Looks pretty solid from the pics.

I put in the spare airflow meter I had. Car is working fine as is. I am just never comfortable driving something without changing all the filters, sparkplugs, hoses, belts, oil (engine, tranny, and diff.), etc...

I will go to the tag agency in the morning to get a new tag. Saturday I will take out the oil pan to take out the dent, do the tune up, and swap the wheels. That leaves the top. I will remove the one in the '83, sand the frame and get it painted or powdercoated to get it ready for the new top coming in.

Decided not to install the interior of the '83. I think it would be a waste for a car that is not a '83-85. I am going to search for those 80-82 parts instead.

Congratulations Wachuko! Glad you found a good car. From what I've seen so far, you'll have this car completely restored by the weekend, right?

Jaime - Congratulations on what looks to be a good find. Now you can apply all the knowledge and experience you've gained from the other car - as well as the parts if you like! I look forward to seeing it in July - you have joined FLU haven't you?

Hahahahaha I wish... nope, will only do the above (tune up, wheels, fluids, belts and hoses). Check you email

Check out ebay. There are some of those iron cross wheels there that will give you an idea of value. I need a wheel for a spare but just need a 14" steel chaepie.
