First Restoration Project & First Post

Are those original miles?? That a sweet ride. When I was a kid, we had that car in a wagon. 4 kids & a dog....couldn't be killed.

So what's refined plan? Are you keeping the /6? If that is original miles, she's at 1/4 life (maybe)!!

Yes, the 53K miles are original (as is everything else on the car, minus the rallys) Definitely keeping the /6.

As for the plan for the car: I'm not going to make any mechanical changes as she's already perfrect for the grocery-getter I want. (No racing soccer moms for me!) Essentially we're going to get a paint job (same medium blue poly), reupholter the seats, throw in a carpet kit, and maybe update the breaks. Just a simple winter project.

I will admit that the list keeps growing. I'll think to myself: "If I redo the seats, the headliner won't look good, so I should replace that." or "When I get her painted, the engine won't look as nice, maybe I should have it detailed" etc. etc. Trying to rein myself in at this point. We'll see where it goes. I'll definitely keep posting pics throughout the project.

Thanks for posting and thanks for everyone's warm welcomes!
