New member and new ride

Hi,
I have been lurking on the forum for a few months now, mainly trying to see if I could find a deal on the right car.
Well I didn’t find the deal on here, but I did just purchase a 1966 Valiant singer 2door. It had been sitting for sale on another forum that I am on for over a year, and the guy lowered the price to 300.00 so I jumped all over it. Hard to beat that, especially since it is a two owner car with title!
This will be my first major restore, and I am looking forward to doing the project with my oldest son.
Details on the car:
1966 valiant two door
Originally sold in my home state of NC about an hour away from where I Live
Originally silver with a red interior
170 auto car
Power steering
Heat
No ac
Manual brakes
Front buckets
Drums all the way around

I have no plans on restoring it back to original, mainly looking for a hot little cruiser for the wife and I to take out on dates. It Needs patch panels in the lower quarters (front and rear), a hood, and some some floor patches(not worthy of complete floor pans).

Great project car! You and your sweetie will have a great time driving in that guy. Best to you in this new endeavor & have fun!
 
Well, I got about 6 free hours over the weekend so I was able to get the front stripped(fenders, bumper, doors, trim, ect.). Hopefully I will be able to get the glass out and engine and trans out next weekend
