    Re: Is it worth it?

    Finally had some time this weekend to work on the car. Got almost all the bad metal off and the parts car stripped down in that corner. Getting closer!

    Huge props. You're going to end up with a great ride with no miles on it. Be smart and change that timing belt.

    That's awesome you know how to do all of that stuff. Looking forward to seeing progress pics along the way (hint hint) and ultimately the finished product.

    Finished getting the bad metal off the car and temporarily put the fender, headlight, and hood on to see how everything is going to line up. Its so cool to see it getting so close!!

    Worked on getting things to line up evenly today, and got the new grill put on the hood.

    Is it worth it?

    Man, that is really impressive. And such a nice car. Props again for taking that on. Looks like you're doing a thorough and accurate repair. Makes my power steering pump rebuild this weekend look like a walk in the park. You'll get many great years out of that car now. Only thing I have on you at this point is that it's 74 and sunny where I live!

    There must not be any rust on that car. Even the exhaust heat shield is shiny and still looks new. Unreal man. Valve cover is a nice touch too.

    Went on its maiden voyage tonight! Ran great! This car will be sweet to drive!

    Took a pic just before heading out. My current DD is lingering in the background

    Drove the car to school and work. I am definitely keeping this car, I tried to sell it but I couldn't do it haha it just feels wrong. Got it cleaned up at work, got all the duct tape off the car and finished lining up the headlights with the hood. I would say it turned out pretty good.
