First time seeing this thread, and just wow. The amount of work you're doing is ridiculous, I hope you finish this project. Maybe one day I'll see it, as I'm in the Windsor area, fighting a rust battle of my own, haha. Loving the idea of the turbo ford motor, too.

too bad socks gave up on the rust bucket......i guess he didnt trust his welds on the framing.......that sucks that he gave up but hopefully his other project will go all the way!!

[OldmanPurdy]

Well at the very least he gained alot of experience, thats how I always look at things even if it dosen't go to plan at least you know more than when you started. BTW gorgeous Z

The car was parted out and sent for scrap metal. Instead, this became the summer car.

[sebazztard]
