Cool! What kind of shape is it it? Is it worth restoring or is it too far gone?

the trunk is completly gone
it has 3 quater sized holes in  the floor pans two on the passenger side and one on the driver both in the back
the interior plastic is flawless including the dash no cracks at all
and one dent between the t tops and another on the rt rear quater that goes under the spoiler
its in excellent condition i think

Sounds nice...looking forward to the pix.

Try this....just set up an account at a photo hosting site, like www.photobucket.com , and load your pix there. You can then post the IMG code of the pic into your post here...any questions, just ask

pontiacman sent me his pics -- with his permission, here they are...the red car is another vehicle (obviously, but maybe it's where Hammer's hood pins ended up) but I'll let him tell the story and comment on the pics. ;)

the red one was my first project a turbo with the ws6 package but it had no title when i bought it so while i was waiting for some paperwork i found the black 79 and it was in such good shape i changed projects cause i got a title with it and i only paid 500.oo for it also
but the rear quater is the only major body work it needs
but i do have a 79 400 and a matching 4 speed to put in it and it has power doors and windows tilt steering and all that good stuff so i have a good project on my hands
but i do appreciate all the help that ive gotten from you all and for the help ill be needing in the future

That is excellent...especially for a woods find.. you could eat off those floor pans ;D

Are you still working on a title for the turbo?

the info on the turbo came back that it had two leins on it but i have the paperwork where it was abandoned from texas in 97 and was put in storage by a wrecker company here in alabama until it was sold to the guy i bought it from last summer so it sat in storage for 9 years
and also the car im working on had a 89year tag on it the story the guy i bought it from was his son was outrunning the police that year and drove it to the woods behind his parents farm where they arrested him the old guy (his dad) raised goats and used the car to store goat feed in it and he wasnt able to raise them anymore so he sold them so he was selling the land and needed the car gone(he had it in the local swapper for sale)i almost didnt buy it cause it looked brown  my buddy convinced me to buy it for parts so i did and thats how i ended up with it a great 500.00 investment
and yep thats my boy and hes a excellent helper
but the turbo has power doors and windows 4 wheel disc brakes ws6 posi traction delux interior so ill may use it for parts i havent decided yet

Good luck with the resto......
