    So here they are and yes i do know its rusty.

    84 karman
    blue interior with an alomost perfect dash
    mechanically the car is perfect.
    body wise it needs some or a lot of love regardless it is what I wanted and anyone else would have just scraped the car.
    My love has been rekindled.

    pics for clicks








    one more cause she was home safe in the garage.




    So thats that after all this time I have one again and it feels great i know to most its a pile but not to me. Peace.

    Here are some better pics taken this afternoon.





    very delicious blue interior.

    i have 2 parts cars, and some OK fenders, well they are the fenders that were on my car, the passenger side is a little rough but the drivers side is good, plus I could cut other panels off if you need them.

    Thanks for all the kind words guys some days the project is a bit overwhelming.

    All the states that dont use salt are looking pretty good at the moment.

    Structural rust = to much on this car. Anyone needing parts keep an eye on the classifieds.
