Good to know there's a local support group when I need it!

Crazy dusty, like it's been sitting in a body shop for years.

shame the drivers seat's torn - the vinyl is no where to be found (and believe me, I've tried). I'd get the cover off and reinforce it from behind by glueing another material to it, or have a pro do it for you.

 

You're also missing the orignal steering wheel. But other than that it'll look great after a bloody good clean.

Thanks Nick!

Welcome. Looks like polaris! Love the mirrors on the hood. Do you still have them both? 

 

I just bought some to put on my 2000cs

Late to the party but congrats! I’m in Virginia Beach and seriously considered picking it up. By the time I made up my mind it was gone. Glad to see it pop up here.

Derby is awesome color and that light grey interior looks like it’s in good condition.

Thanks jmr, I can't wait to get started on it! 

 

Mich02, I love the hood mounted mirrors too! I have both, but they're in rough shape.

Good morning guys,

 This week I installed front door buffers, so now the doors close and it looks slightly less derelict. I realized the engine is a 71 02 motor,  and with a battery, cleaned carb and plugs, it runs! The clutch cylinder rod that attaches to the pedal is snapped,  so it will need a new master cylinder before it moves.

Since it runs, I gave it a bath.

looks better already

That’s step one in my list...

Great list, thank you!

 The gas and coolant were drained before it was stored, so that was a win. First old car I've ever bought that didn't reek of bad gas!

Snow!  I hoped to have it moving before this happened...

Hi Brendan,

 

I'm in the same boat, pick up my 1600 two days before turkey day, at least you have the key and pink slip, still waiting for mine. On a mini vacation to Colorado, can't wait to get back to So Cal and get my hand dirty,I should have a bunch of Ebay goodies waiting.
