You will never be right side up but you might find it rewarding to rebuild the car for the enjoyment.

From a strictly money standpoint it always pays to buy the best car you can afford in the first place. This is not one of those.

Damm........

It must really be in bad shape!

the interior was out of my car when I got it, and the paint was stripped (badly I might add), it sat outside uncovered like this on the side of a shed at my friends fathers house for almost 20 years!
at least they gave me all of the parts that they took off.

I will have to be carefull to get it out in one piece.As I stated the rocker boxes are gone and so is the windshield frame The only thing holding her together right now are the Tops.If I can get it home in one piece and get it off the frame that will be half the battle.
