Well, it's home. Cost almost as much to get it here as to buy it!

Nearly pulled the rear towing hook off on the tow -- the dent in the rear corner allows water into the trunk, and has rusted the fender well on the driver's side some. Not bad, a couple days with the welder should fix all the holes.

The rust on the hood is due to a dent -- something fell on the car, I think, nice even depression about 6" in diameter on the edge of the center section. Caused the cheap paint job to peel the factory paint off -- cheap paint peeling all over on the old girl.

Exhaust system is hanging pretty low, too, and the muffler is shot -- will dumpster dive for that later this week. Also for the 4.5 badge some s...t stole off the car Thursday night! I suspect the front subfram bushings and motor mounts are shot, no surprise.

Some rust at the bottom of a couple of doors, no big deal as there are several int the "cheap" u-pullit yards around here in pertty good shape.

This is gonna be fun!

Peter
