Just wanted to introduce myself. I was on this forums years ago when I bought the car before I went off to college. Now that I have graduated and been working for a few years, I have the car in my own garage and am ready to work.
I bought the car about ten years ago. I pulled it out of a field in Indiana. It is really complete.
At some point the car was wrecked, new front fenders were put on. The front bumper, passenger side front bumper brakets, bumper apron, and passenger park light bezel are damaged. Otherwise just some of the common rust issues... rocker panels, a few body mounts, around parts of the trunk opening.
My goal for the car is to make a nice daily driver out of it. Discs all the way around, shock relocation, 12v with all new wiring, and most likely the most controversial an ls engine.
Before I went off to college I changed points and put in a new condensor and battery. Fired up and the whole car started smoking from the original wiring. I was not going to let the car burn up so it pretty much sat until now.
I have only made minor progress since getting it in my own garage. Most of the time has been spent organizing the garage.
I look forward to talking with everyone.
Thanks,
Andrew
