Hey Girl, congrats to you on the find. I too bought one with the proverbial Bra holding the front end together. Also found the damage AFTER I got it home and uncovered. It's better now, I did my own work and made it a driver. Good luck. Take care of yourself and the new ride.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing.

Do you have any pics since she got out of the body shop?

Is that bottom pic the finished product or is that a pre body shop pic?  That bra is hideous.

MUCH better!  Nice color. Did you switch the wheels or the previous owner?

Thanks! I’m the third owner. One of the previous owners switched the wheels.

A nice looking car - looks good in that colour.  And I prefer that style of wheel.

Hopefully your recent engine issue is nothing serious and you can out and enjoy the ride!👍
