new project, gots a long way to go.
 

well this is a 73 nova i picked up. paid to much for it but didnt realize what i was getting into.

no title(im an idiot), was sitting for over 10yrs. im hoping that i can just file it as abandoned or something. still working on that part.

but it needed cleaning bad.

70 nova front end and grill, 73 grill and headlight surrounds(working on mixing the 2 together for a little different front) radiator, alternator, full dash, seats, B&M shifter, 350- transmission. the wiring is practically brand new, im so ------- stoked on that because i was really worried about having to make a new wiring harness but the wires are in ------- great shape, fully flexible and no corrosion. the car only had 9xxx miles on it. and a full dual exhaust.


w-30 olds 455, 9in rear, and HMT caltracs and subframe connectors. fully gutting the car, just 2 seats and a dash. very dull paint job. lexan windows.

cheap and fast as ----. (i hope)

and big ups to my friends mom. she let me take over her garage.

---- yea exhaust pipe roll cage!!

Re: new project, gots a long way to go.
 

please tell me you didnt pay more than a few hundred for that

Re: new project, gots a long way to go.
 

i didnt pay more than a few hundred for it.

everyone says that, but the car is in really good shape. not one spot of rust, just some surface corrosion.

i think it was a hell of a deal besides the fact that i have to fight to get a ------- title for it. that was the mistake.

Re: new project, gots a long way to go.
 

did you atleast get a bill of sale or some other kind of proof that you paid for it?

Re: new project, gots a long way to go.
 

496? isnt that a little small? this thing needs a zz572 crate! >:D

Re: new project, gots a long way to go.
 

got a proof of sale and tracked down the owner before the guy i got it from, he got it from another guy about 12yrs ago, w/ no title.

fenders are welded up and primed, hood is next.
