This page shows what I started with in 1996-1997.

I first found this car in 1991. I bought it on whim in 1996. I spent the next couple of years tearing it apart.

And now, I am starting to rebuild.

This is how I first found the car in 1991

This was taken after the first bath this poor car got in over 10 years!

Got the top open for the first time.

A good look at the wiring under the 'hood'

The motor that came in the car. It was a 1600 cc

A look at the engine from the access lid.

The original dash

This is the mess that I found when I cut out the dash.

Look at all of the wonderful crap I found IN the motor.

The Floorpan. I dropped a worklight on the shopfloor and almost got sick looking at all of the rust holes through the floor of the car.

This is the chassis shortly after removing the body.

We had air condotioning!
