The start of the project.

I started this project in 2004, but I didn't get very far before I got side tracked.  I basically took a few pictures, removed all the extra parts from the cab and trunk, cataloged them and stored them in my attic and started the web page.  Then we had a garage sale and I was kicked out of the garage.  I didn't start working on it again until 6/06.  My goal is to have it running before 06/22/06.  That's when I get kicked out of the garage again for another garage sale.
Cost/Time
06/05/06 - 06/06/06

I moved the coupe from the side of the house to the driveway, I had to pull it with the lawn mower.  The next time it moves will be under it's own power!  My neighbor came over with his Quad Runner to help pull it, but I had started moving this thing by myself and that's the way I was going to finish it.  Thanks, but no thanks.

I had to replaced the battery, again.  I bought it new in 2004 so I only had to pay $40 for the prorate.

The floor had surface rust from rain coming in from the windshield wiper and radio antenna holes.  I sealed the holes, sanded and painted the floor.
