Thanks for all the nice comments.
The car looks like a great starting point,the car is all there.
I don't have a huge bankroll to spend,but I do work the night shift,so lots of hours during the day are available for wrenching.
I'm not after a show car,I want to drive a nice original.
I plan on doing as much work as possible myself,although I will buy my welding buddies a few beers for their help.
The nice thing about working on a budget,is you can't rush the job.
I think it would be smarter to completely disassemble the car and motor,and take my time replacing all the worn parts and fasteners.
By spring hopefully the car will be driveable.
I'll have more photos tomorrow,I ran out of memory on my memory card.
The car looks so much better on the pavement,in a garage.
It's a shame it sat outside for 10 years.
Lots of family members of the previous owner had plans that never materialized for the car.
I'm glad I was able to acquire it.
My youngest brother is really excited about the car.
He graduated recently from technical school and never had a chance to work on a classic.
He is amazed at the simplicity of the 1976.
What a shame what cars of today have become.
