I figured I'd start a thread to document my progress of restoring the family New Yorker. I say "family" because this car has been in our family since my Dad bought it in 71. My brother drove it through High School and a bit of college, then I inherited it and drove it through high school and 2 years of college. At a certain point in 1991 it needed some costly repairs to the suspension and I didn't have the money to do it, so Dad bought me used car (an '80 Cordoba LS, which I failed to appreciate the rarity of at the time). I had the desire to fix up the NYer when I was younger, but not the money, tools, time, knowledge, or a place to do it. I started doing some work on it out under a shade tree but gave up. My Dad had recently put up a big metal building on his property so I drove it in their and it has sat there for nearly 20 years now.
Fast forward to now. I do have some of those things I lacked long ago (money, a place to do it, and some time) The rest I plan to gradually obtain. Some picture to follow...
