81' FB restoration

Hello everyone,

Well this started as a ill timed radiator leak. I was about to head down to the Lake Hartwell Lakehouse meet in Ga and the day before th erad starts leaking. I missed the meet and got the itch to restore the FB.

A little history on the FB , I bought it for 500.00 dollars I had seen it under a car port for a couple years. Then one day I saw someone outside and stopped in. Long story short 500 bones and I drove it home.

So Far I have put 20 bucks worth of U-joints in the Driveshaft, New rotors and pads up front, and a set of HTR 200's in the back.It went for 15k miles this year before the rad problem!! Awsome little bugger. best 500 I ever spent.

So far I have gutted the enginebay in preperation for a good cleaning, sanding priming and then paint. All teh suspension pieces up front will be pulled and painted as well. All bushings will be replaced, etc..

Here is the start of what I did in the last 24 hours. Past the point of no return!!









Not bad for a few hours work removing 28 year old rusted body fasteners!! More pics to come as I do more stuff
