Looks great, did you end up saving a good bit of money? If you don;t mind what did it cost you in the end?

All in all, I would say between $9500 and $10000,
including the car. My good friend owns a salvage yard where I got alot of stuff(Door, rear quarter, air bags, dash and front assy.) My conection at SLP really helped alot, too!!!

Your car shows that good things come slow and your car is a good example of that. Nice work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I wouldn't do something like that but you did a terrific job restoring it from what I can see. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Good job on the rebuild. Always a great feeling of accomplishment to bring a great car back from the dead. I rebuilt my 1981 Z from a totaled wreck. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
