Hello everyone :wavey:

I have been lurking around for a bit trying to pick up information on my car. Ive had it for maybe a good 5 months now and its come a long way from when i first got it.Image i hope this is how you post a picture. i got it from an old lady for 600$ with a 2 bad fuel injectors, a auto tranny that was going out, a horrible top, and a nice size dent in the rear quarter pannel. the interior is horrible as well.

Welcome, have to upload the pic to a photo website like photobucket.com before posting it here.

Good start for a project though. Interior shouldn't be too bad to replace/upgrade.

$600, nice. No rusty surprises under the interior carpet = win!

What top did you use?

yeah she wanted 1000, but i talked her down. no major rust spots. i got the original material that is used, i know there was a cheaper material but i figured might as well go for the longer lasting one.

I'm missing a lil black exterior piece that goes where the top meets the windshield on the driver side any idea where i can get it?
