Here is the story if there is interest...
I picked this beauty up for $741 ($700 plus TTL) from a used car lot about a year ago. As I said earlier, baby blue and white. Interior is/was (currently under construction) blue and white. As we all know, the lighter the color of the platic trim pieces, the chalkier they are. All had to go. There were no window molding to rehab or copy. Current interior plastic is refinished 84 Grand Prix. The sail panels and window molding are going to be custom. 🙁( Had a set of virgin 73 Z-28 wheels that needed a car to go on and a set of used 235/60-15s. That made a huge difference. They replaced the faux 1979 spoke wheels that came on it.
Typical of the Salon model, the body was rusted at the corner of the rear windows. As well, it had a half vinyl top. Several rust holes had to be fixed. I hate body work...
Pics show several areas of primer. It has since been primered and will stay that way for awhile. I play with paint schemes using primers until I get what I want then take it to the shop for paint and finish work.
There are new seats (97 Blazer buckets, re-skinned in black leather, bolted to the original bucket frames), rear windows re-sealed and rust holes fixed, needs finish work.
Will be installing a tubular suspension from Gbodyparts.com along with spings, KYB shocks etc. Will also be putting in carpet, headliner, and reinstalling the interior. Also need to add the stereo, power locks and windows and some other stuff that was going to go on my El Camino. Will be fun over spring break.
