Very nice! I eventually want to get some minor upgrades, but there's something nice about leaving cars like these mostly stock in my opinion. First it needs mechanical repairs, then it needs the body damage repaired. Which again, I may opt to do with my dad. I'll post a pic of the big gash in its side. It was hit by a snow truck I assume.
We sanded out the rust. And spraypainted over the open metal to prevent more rust. It look horrible. This doesn't look great, but it's much better than before. I'm going to eventually rent the tools necessary to redo the sides. Anyone have any objections to using Lucas oil stop Leak to help with my gasket leak issues. Not as a permanent fix but something to buy me some time.
