It's a base, late '78 model that had a blown engine, 4 speed, and some body damage. It wouldn't have been worth much, as it was probably going to the crusher if I hadn't bought it as a toy. I wouldn't do what I've done to a pristine, low mileage, desirable model. Which is why I bought one very few people wanted. It was in good enough shape to do what I wanted without getting ridiculous with the bodywork, but not so good that it should be restored. Engine and suspension work is a different story on the ridiculous scale of things. My vision is an SA that looks almost stock, but performs better than an FD. This is my path to that goal.
