Hi C69,
Very good to see what you're working on.
Lot's of interesting things to take note of in the photos!
Good Luck as you finish this up.
You must be pleased with how it's turning out.
Thanks for taking the time to post all those photos!
Regards,
Alan

A little confused..the picture with it on the trailer in blue, is that the condition of it today, or before your tear down?
Nice restoration of the chassis, with nice attention to detail.

No, no, no, no! Can't beat blue with a bright blue interior!

Thanks for sharing i am so impressed and this thread was so darn motivating, just the kick in the butt i needed,

Make that dream happen the way YOU want, to paint it your favorite color, and do the interior to suit you.....

And please update when you can, i will look forward to it.

You, sir, are a budding magician! It appears that you have restored about every part in that car. And by "restored", I mean inside & out(not just 'make it purty')!

Outstanding work and very interesting to see the progress.

Thanks for the replies. This journey has taken almost 5 years it looks like. Made more difficult because I don't have the car under cover. Also in between restoring this one I restored a 1993 300zx tt. Quite an undertaking! I have more pics on different computers and will try to upload them as well. Until then enjoy this
