Yuup. She's all mine, paid for too.
Actually I love this old car. Bought it with a blown HG two years ago. Replaced the gasket and all is well since. The car was very well cared for(honing marks still visible)so is mechanically A#1 except for inop a/c and occasional central locking issues.
Nearly two decades of road salt have taken their toll, after this winter I'll probably part her out. Who needs a manual swap??

Congrats on your hood Tim, looks nice now. How much paint left?

gee i guess there won't be much point swapping the fuel lines for my rusty ones then if you got caught in the salt too. once the floor starts to go...

it's what sold me on mine... the underneath was super clean except for some damage from bad jacking i had repaired. despite the neglect it had obviously been kept in a garage its whole life.

re hood - thanks - the tin is so clean i could eat out of it... needs more coats next year, the grill has about 7 or 8 and you can really see the difference also it's way easier to smooth out i had to be so careful sanding with that little paint... it will be nice to do a proper job (should read proper farm tractor job) next year... not sure about the rest tho...
