Told Myself, "No Restoration" But Did I Listen?

Thanks. :thumleft:

This car isn't anything special or rare, but it was one of the more solid, original cars that I had run across that I could afford at the time I bought it. The passenger side, front fender was the only area that had been touched up for a repair. Everything else with exception of a few mechanical parts was original. Not bad considering the car was 17 years old by the time I got it.

From what the guy told me, he was the second owner, but I don't know how long he had it. I actually don't even know why he had it, because he was a Ford guy who HATED A/C....LOL (The Scamp has A/C) In his garage were two 1966 Mustangs & an early 50's Ford that his son still has to this day. His daily driver was an Econoline van, & his wife had Fairmont wagon, none of which had A/C.

I moved out of state & had found out he passed away about 10 years after I got the car so I never got the chance to go back to show him the repaint. I sent his son a photo of it, but he didn't remember the car & said his Dad probably had it when he was away in the Navy. He was also confused as to why his Dad had a Mopar being a Ford guy. My guess is everyone looks to make improvements in their lives at some point. :D

There are photos of when I was bringing it to the body shop but I have to scan them. I have pics of all the rust before it was repaired, pics after I removed trim & pics in the body shop. I'll try to scan them this week & post them.
