before I get started

Post by randy1234 »

Hello group! I just purchased this 1981 and I am really looking forward to getting started. The pictures are from the craigslist ad that I purchased it from. Even though it looks a little dodgy, it is in real nice condition. I hope to post before and after pictures by June next year. New black top and fresh white paint.

If you know of moldings for sale, please let me know?

Randy

Nice find. I can't recall if I sold my spare set of molding/trim or not. I'll have to look and see this weekend. If I find it, I'll let you know.

Yes Calimus. Please let me know if you find the trim. I am doing reconstruction surgery on the vents right now, and hope they are strong enough to hold well when back in place. Not to many bone-yards in my neck of the woods but I will look around. I am in the upper Peninsula of Mich.

I haven't found them yet, but I have a few more bins to go through. Should be able to get to those this coming weekend.

Aren't we all like that. My basement looks like the back store room at Kal Tire. My garage is in a little better shape. but there is quite a pile on what is supposed to be the work bench.

Looks like you have a great start on a nice cabby!

I'm jealous of you guys that actually have a garage you can clutter up LOL. I live in a townhome with a strata that goes ballistic everytime I jack up my cars just to change tires, they weren't impressed with my waterpump change I did either, even though that was only a couple hours including beer consumption.
