Mike's '67 Fastback Featuring Super Slow Progress
So I ventured out to the garage to scare myself by how poor of a state the car is in, as it sits I can only conveniently access the drivers side. I will need to push it out or move a bunch of crap out of the way to get to it. I was pleasantly surprised that it is better shape than I remember, that being said it is far from what I wish it was.
Overall shot from a few years ago, the last time she was in the sunlight. Picture in first post isn't working for some reason.
The trunk and underhood areas have a surprising amount of mouse turds. I was expecting a lot of rust in the trunk but found only the areas on top of the frame to have any and the extensions and well appear to be solid. The car was rear ended shortly before I bought it by a Mitsubishi Eclipse that the failed to put the hand brake on, the speed was low but the damage done. There is if I recall some damage to the rear of the frame rails, I was unable to get a good look today, they may need to be patched or replaced. The trunk was for an unknown amount of time without a functioning seal which I replaced almost immediately because it sat outside for the first two years I owned it, without a cover (it would have been stolen if it was covered). However; upon looking at the tire well I was surprised to see the body plug removed and the top of the tank wet (wasn't wet when I parked it). A look under the showed a gooey puddle on the ground and a streak on the tank.
