Bought my car off a friend for the price the local pick-and-pull would have gave him for it. He bought it off crags list. My friend flooded it and filled the exhaust with gas (my guess) and It blew/split it open. The noise sounded like I was standing next to a gun firing and I was 40 feet away. He didn't like driving it with open exhaust and just gave up on it... After I got it and a noise ticket I "temporally" have a cherry bomb on it. The exhaust will be corrected with the up coming rebuild. (I wont be doing my self.)

At over 200,000 miles the car looks fantastic if it ran better I wouldn't believe the high mileage. Some bad rust in the trunk and a couple of windows leek. but its covered with a tarp to keep moisture down. And had a low heat space heater in it to dry it up more when we get the rain.

There is a rather large the list of things to work on. It had A/C but was already abandon so I pulled it all off the top on the motor but saved it in case I want to use it... or convert it. I also pulled the valve covers to see what the rockers and rods looked like and cleaned the covers up as well as a coat of paint. blue because the auto parts store didn't have the turquoise in stock and IDGAF about the colors.

Trigger warning, wont stay stock, wont color conform.

See any issues? lol
