Hello from Oregon
Hi! all, I'm just starting on getting my 81 drivable again. It's been sitting idle for 17 years. So far I know I am going to need new brakes, front and rear suspension work, new interior and new tires. This forum is a great source of information. I'm glad I found it.

Welcome to the Forum. Be sure to check out the Pacific Northwest regional section and C3 section - lots of information there from fellow restorers.
You might want to fill in your profile so we know where in Oregon. Then when you need help someone nearby can come to your aid.
I have a friend here who "brought his `82 back to life" with a Ram-Jet 502!
