New to me 1982 Grand National project basket case

What’s up guys so I’ve been stripping the weather stripping off the body and what a nightmare those seals have been. Anyway for anyone wanting to purchase a t top car always check your roof and a pillars. I will be ordering the B-pillar patch panels, new a pillars and floor pan as I have a good donor rear section for under the rear seat. Hoping to order these parts maybe in March or April along with getting gas for the welder as I keep putting it off. Also hopefully here in the next two-three weeks there will be a huge item the car needed arriving will post once it arrives.

I guess a 4.1 is coming down the pike

Starting work on the 82 GN again. Got the grille completely disassembled. Headlight bezels are ready for primer and then a fresh coat of black paint. Originally a vinyl decal was used for the blackout on the headlight bezels. Will get the grille cleaned up and ready for paint tomorrow. Little steps but one less thing I will have to do when reassembly starts.

Above is why I'll never understand people's fascination with t tops.

The same sentiment given by the guys who buy their hot rods from the dealership when they see older rods sitting on the side of highway.

If it were easy, everyone would do it. I feel this project and know where he's coming from.

I also love staring at the clouds while doing donuts at that is hard to do through a windshield.

I like them but wouldn’t want one for a every day car. If this was a regular regal it probably wouldn’t be worth doing all this work to.

You certainly have a project there. I hope you are able to get it all fixed up. Looking forward to the updates.
