Vehicle Detail

Great project car, usually rust and signs of age for this family of car. I've done a lot of work to get this car to where it is, but I just don't have the resources to finish it up. I bought it when I was stationed in California and the previous owner had done some work to make this a drag car. I've undone most of that work towards making this a daily driver, but I'm sure you can see the influences still. The engine compartment is a bit messy and the paint job isn't high quality. There are a few areas of missing paint and some signs of body work on the passenger door panel, as well as some damage to the tail panel that'll all be easy to fix with a final paint. Title is clean and car was recently registered in California. I will help arrange for shipping anywhere or local pickup. The car will need to be trailered as the brakes are not completely installed at this point. Winner will provide a $500 deposit within 72 hours of action close and balance within 21 days.

I have about 3 wiring harnesses that I intended to make 1 good one out of, but I haven't yet.On Apr-15-13 at 16:17:59 PDT, seller added the following information: UpdateAdded pictures of the front. Sorry for the low quality, we got some snow today and I can't get the garage cleaned enough to get it in right now. I have additional headlight bezels not installed. Also there is a better view of the hood fitment, it is not set in the back driver corner due to my poor remounting of the hinge, it will sit flush.
