Um hey there sir. I saw that old "car" you got sitting back there. I kinda need an old motor to rebuild. I guess I could get rid of the whole car for you if you let me have the motor... ????

Here is the video of mine I put together after I got it together. Some things have changed about the car.

Wow, some of you guys have come a long ways on your cars

Reminds me of how much farther I need to go

I don't think I have any pics from when I first got the car. . This pic is close...just imagine a large hole in the middle of the bumper

I'll have to call my parents, they might have a few earlier ones stashed away somewhere that I can scan.

Amazingly enough there is no frame rot, just a little surface rust, and he knew exactly what he had and would not budge on the price one penny.

Thanks guys. I apprecaite the comments. About the only thing that you might be able to see from the outside are the wheels and maybe the seat belts that have changed.
