That would probably make sense. I think the car was a late 1986 build because a lot of the parts has 1986 stamped or stickered on them. The radio, the back seat, and the door panels all had 1986 marked on them. I've never found a build sheet, although it could possibly be above the headliner, I've never had the board down. If it's not there, I don't have it.

Today's progress- column out, dash out, ducts out, all old jute padding out.

The trouble spot-

And oh yeahhhh... kinda forgot about this spot. Gonna have to do something there. Its hidden so I won't go crazy with it, but I will probably weld a patch over it.

I'm gonna try to find a better dash to put back in because this is what mine looks like under the dashmat-

And now I've got a(nother) nice big pile of parts to sort through.

Also met with member 39F who generously gifted me a nice core support and some nice inner fenders to use. Thanks again man!

Maybe someone on here has a shell they'd cut that panel out of so you'd have to do less work.

Does Millerstown still have those GP's there? They all should be good in that part of the firewall.

I saw that, I'm gonna try to find an actual dash pad but if I come up blank I will be taking a closer look at the dash caps.

If you are referring to the firewall panel, that is my plan. For the kick panel I may just make a piece, but not sure. I have a couple sections of floor I'm gonna make a little nicer too.

Not sure if they are still up there, but I thought they cracked down on angle grinders. Also I think I found someone who is gonna hook me up.
