    I swapped out the bumpers on the new car. It had bumper guards and I have never been a fan of them so on went the standard bumpers. I also swapped out valances because the others I had were a bit nicer. I'll be posting the extra bumper parts for sale shortly.

    was going to pull carpet and seats to track down the leaks - then our toilets overflowed the downstairs because our septic tanks backed up - now we get to spend hundred$ or thousand$ on that - count your blessings people, you never know when things will change...

    I murdered the white car! The more I dug the uglier it got. Pulling the rest of the headliner I was able to see some nasty surface rust that made the roof skin weak enough to push a screw driver through. Sure glad I bought the other car! Going to try to salvage as much of the good stuff but there doesn't seem to be much.:huh:

    All that's left at this point is the cowl, floor boards and the front aprons. I am going to save the rear wheel houses and frame rails, seems to be a need for them and they seem solid, we'll see how they look though. I might do a little more tomorrow after work.

    Looked out the window at it... Waiting for it to stop raining but I doubt that, would really like it to stop though so I can take the leafs in to get re-arched
