BoostedAce Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ok, so I have gone back and forth on if I should get rid of my car or keep it. I had it on craigslist for a month and kept offers I could not let the car go for. So after putting hard work in the car im deciding to do a complete flip. Mark Duffy helped me picking out what would best fit me. A month after I bought the car I took it to a tuffy to have a exhaust leak fixed and noticed they put the car on an alignment lift, soon the guy came up to me and told me to take a look at this. So comes to find out the frame pinch welds are completely gone from the door back. From then on I was afraid of putting any more money in to it. My friend from weld lab at Delaware Area Career Center told me to come down there and ask the instructor if anything can be done. So now the car rust on frame and outside body work will be fixed for a cheap price and will be started tomarrow. After that is finished im hoping to find a 6bolt bottom end and building it up with some help, and throw my head off my 7bolt on there. (I will get the head and block cleaned and resurfaced) I have a outline of what I would like to do to it but I dont want to list anything because there will be no guarantees with how much I can afford. I will update as I get more finish with pictures.

Tindall2006 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 It is someplace in Houston, i am not sure... I am still working with the insurance company on getting paid for the car, though I am going to try to eventually get the car to my dad's house in ohio. I am not sure if I am going to part it out if I get it there, or save it for a future build. But i will keep you in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tindall2006 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Those cars are money pits to keep on the road. Not something I would want as a broke 19 year old.. I had two of them, after you get past the firts 3,000 miles and get all the maintenance done that the previous owner neglected they are pretty good. That is really the only killer is the grand you have to spent to do it all, and to do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the rust could not be fixed, so I talked with mark and I found a better solution, im trying to get the car gone and jps with a 6bolt in it already. I really wanted to complete this project but the frame can not be saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
