Well, it's official. There is another new member of the family.
I'd like to thank Tom Winston (Winstontj) for this latest addition.
Tom lives in Charlestown and he has some 02's and a normal car as well as this car pictured below.
Tom's original plan was to strip it and prep it for racing. Unfortunately Tom has decided to get married and has had some other things pop up and had to abandon his project. After trying to sell the car with ALL the race parts he had accumulated for $1900 - with no takers - he decided to ditch the "rolling shell".
Enter ME...
It currently sits in running/driving condition - interior is gutted save a drivers seat, cluster, dash, steering wheel - and on Saturday he is taking the seat, the wheel, the tranny and driveshaft and leaving me with the motor, the shell, the diff, and all the parts he removed...
My plan is to put my M40 with tranny and driveshaft in, put the carpeting in with sound deadening, put the heater core and other such goodies back in, the rear seat, some front seats, a steering wheel and then some bumpers and go from there.
The plan on this car is $500 or less TOTAL. Tom was gracious enough to drive it to Kensington Autoworks for me in NH and has left it there. (read between the lines - this car was free)...
Anyways, welcome to the family. This is about as Rust Free as a car of this age can be in NE. A cali car that moved to the vineyard and found its way to Tom and now to Me. Going to try to make it nice enough to do something with - i.e. DD or sell for someone to finish the work Tom started, I'm continuing...
Enjoy!
