The Parts Car is GONE... scroll down!
Here it is, the parts car. I don't really need a parts car, expect for a fender or two, but it was only $300! It rust well without smoking, but the carbs really need work. The previous owner sold the car because he broke the column shifter (its a manual trans!) a few months ago and didn't want to spend the $500 to fix it. Well, I didn't wanna spend $500 either, so me and my friend Alvaro tied up a small rag to repair the broken parts and the car is 100% driveable! We had it towed anyway, cause a truck was on the way, and drove it around the industrial park where we work. It will soon be in parts, and everything seems to work, so please email me before I have it sent to the scrap yard if you need anything! Enjoy these pictures of the day's activity.

This past weekend the real dismantling started. Just about the entire interior has been stripped. Its funny how easy and rewarding it is to take apart such a fine machine. Today I started removing the old and cracked finish from the wood pieces. Very soon items will be appearing on eBay and everyone's email requests will be fulfilled. Stay tuned, and enjoy these pictures!

Its all gone! They came to take it this morning. The truck showed up early so I didn't get to pull a few last things, but it really wasn't much of a loss. Enjoy the pictures.... Note that the doors and fenders are gone.
