For $650, that is definitely a steal! Car looked pretty clean in person too. The wheels help a lot though.

what do you think of the spyder webs and pine needles. nice touch huh. also had about a million sprinkler pop up heads all thru the car. it was a real hoot . was finding them for months after i got it. it camre with an extra hatch with good glass and my multi talented brother was able to cut the rear spoiler off and transplant it on to the good hatchback and a fellow member all the way out in New Hampshire had a very good black rear seat back to replace the destroyed one i had. the price and Greyhound shipping were really cheap too. what a guy. h-body guys stick to gether. it's great..........

Does this mean you are starting work on the chassis? COOL! That back seat is pretty tired... Does it have to stay?
