Default I guess it begins

after years of wishing, a lot of reading, and probably more money than I can afford the car arrives on Monday and I'll mail the check off for the engine and trans. I'll post pics of hte shell when it gets here.

the car's a piece of shit. I'm not sure I even want to fuck with it. I might sell the shell and move on to a better

All the interior plstic is fucked up, the clips are broken, finish chipped etc.
SOme fucking idiot body shop siliconed the side skirts on, so I don't even know how I'm going to get those off, and I'm not seeing the lines to the AC cooling coil on the firewall so some fucking idiot probably pulled the whole coil out for no damn reason.

Couldn't find one locally

I mean it's not terrible but it's not as nice as I had expected, and the glued on skirts REALLY pisses me off. I guess I'll proceed and just fix all the little annoyance$$
