He wasn't so pretty when I first picked him up and he needed a lot of work. Of course, living in the midwest, we expect this....

I know, you're saying, not bad....for $500 right?

With a little bit of work...

After driving it for 3 years, even during the winter I transformed it again and out-fitted it with a 2276 Turbo and a Rancho Pro Drag trans

Skulls on the bumpers...

I think its not that bad! It also looks like you did quite the upgrade on that rig, which is always awesome. Did it cost you much in restoring that? Looks like you broke open a whole auto parts warehouse getting that to look THAT good lol Oh, and I love that little piggy in the front

Thanks. Dumped about $600 in pans and channels and misc replacement parts of sheet metal. Engine and trans around 11k, but told the wife $1000

lol
I have a few more pics to add and when it gets a little warmer, maybe today, I'll post more pics!

Been out playing in my heated garage this winter. Yeah, I know the white wheel stands out, but I didn't feel like painting it since eventually I will change the color to birch green and pearl white to match our 64 Squareback. (Last pic)
