umm, It's starting to break down because it has all original parts. So my first plan is to fix all the parts that's breaking. Then, help out the rust spots. I think it'll look much better when i do that. Then after that, i really don't know. I guess i'll have to think about it.

awesome, cant wait to see the final product. I'd say for an older car like that, replace all the belts, hoses, etc if u havent already.

awesome. i have all of my coolant hoses and belts replaced in mine too.. i did that within the past year, cause everyone of them broke eventually. after i put a new one in, another old one would break. I think next though for me is all new brake lines, i blew one 2 years ago, adn i dont want to take any more chances with it.
