Default 71 BB convertible in the garage

Hello all. I am finally getting back into the hobby after more than a decade so I figure I would jump in the deep end so to speak. I bought a 71 convertible that has been a friends long term project.
I really dig cool cars and the convertible C3's have always looked fantastic to me. Now the fun begins.
