A few years ago, I want to say 2012 or 2013 I bought my dads old Monte Carlo to save it from being scrapped or torn apart. Towing it from his drive way to the storage yard was the first time it had moved since 2005. I have done very little to it considering how long I have had it. I ripped out the carpets to get a look at the floor rot(there is lots), rebuilt the starter(myself so it fell apart after 4 starts), tried to change the spark plugs(only got 4 of them), took the carb off(its now rusting away on my girlfriends balcony) and put a battery in(batery was too small, not enough CCA). I suppose you could say my first project is off to a crappy start untill the begining of this month, when I got a letter stating my vehicle was in derilect condition and would need to be towed of the property by the end of the month. So i started panicking, managed to throw some new tires on it so it can roll, got permision from my manager to store it on our other lots property which conveniently is directly across the street from the storage place and now I have 4 months to get it started.
What im looking for in sharing this story with others who have interest in G-bodies is information on how to get around some of the tough common problems that plague the frames and confermation that my project is valid despite being a lost cause and share with others the cost in saving a rust bucket like mine
