This vehicle runs and drives great. I just drove it 150 miles each way to Myrtle Beach for the F-Body Beach Bash this last weekend. Got 15 MPG during the trip but if you are looking at this I hope you aren't worried about gas mileage.
What needs to still be looked at:Driver quality paint job that is about 15 years old. Probably a 7 out of 10. I plan to repaint it if it doesn't sell.Small bubble on bottom of driver door and lower passenger quarter panel. It's not bubbled through and has been like it since I got it but I would address it. I kept it garaged for the entire time I have had it so it has not gotten any worse.
The other panels are rust free including the trunk/floor pans/frame rails/front fenders etc.
Other than that this car is done. It is about as close to a restoration you can get without pulling the body and sandblasting everything for powder coating.
You can view the process of what the car was like when I got it all the way through until what condition it is in now on my photo bucket page.
