Haven't done much so far took out the Tranny and the Engine Took off the tires and the brakes. When i purchased the car i got a bunch of parts i've been spending my time shorting through everything trying to figure out what goes there. Also it appears everything is held on with one screw so im going through slowly making sure everything has enough bolts.

Ive had a few things sandblasted and somethings are still at the sandblaster. Pretty Rust Free car, Unfortunately i live on a hill and cannot roll it out onto the drive way to powerwash it.

So Went to the Dmv to get the title properly transfered apparently the seller lied to me about the car being registered as none operational so now i get stuck with the bill 366$ dollars us. It hasn't been registered since 2004, its a little disheartening. Well there goes a weeks pay Sad

Sidenote: all of the suspension pieces are going out to the sandblaster this week. Thumbs up!

Friend painted the hood

Also still waiting for my coilover sleeves and springs.
