Hey, figured I'd start a build thread and track my progress.
Located in Lethbridge Alberta.
Overall, the car is pretty decent shape.
Plan for the car is to just get it to be a nice clean daily driver cruiser. I wanted a cruising car while I rebuild an engine for my mustang. Once that car is back on the road, then maybe I'll do more heavy modification on this car.
