Not a complete restoration. Car has some patina. No major rust issue but some areas may require attention in the future. Worst area is lower front fenders in front of the doors. These seems to have been patch by the previous owner. I have applied POR-15(rust neutralizer/sealer) where necessary on frame and body. Overall car is very solid. Body is straight. According to previous owner, car was repainted in late 70's. Car still looks great and photographs and shows well.
I replaced the passenger front floor when i bought the car 2011. Interior floor is fully covered in dynamat. Carpet was new(changed to black) in 2011 and is in excellent condition. Seats are original and have not been recovered or repadded but were dyed black. Seats have split/cracked in a few places. Dash is custom fiberglass and covered in black vinyl "leather" and steering wheel is wrapped to match. I have the rest of the roll of vinyl "leather" and can include it if you'd like to finish the seats in the same material as the dash and steering wheel. Car also has aftermarket gauges installed(tach, speedo, oil pressure, water temp, fuel level, vacuum/boost(previous plans included turbocharging), fuel pressure, Air/Fuel Ratio.Last edited by Wicked; 07-19-2018 at 06:19 AM.
