Nothing really has gone wrong with her since I bought it, except the front calipers are sticking from sitting for 10 years!
This car is great. It's 33 years old and has been to hell and back. 8 previous owners and a lot of mileage, she is in the rough right now.
It has major rust on the rear quarters, and some minor rust everywhere else, but she still goes like a bat out of hell.
She is a tough car and is slowly being restored; body parts are just hard to get for her because it's not a Camaro or a Firebird, it's a car that nobody wants to fix up because it's an oddball and she's worn out. If you are like me and love these cars, you will understand!
What is hard to understand is why you would spend $$$ "restoring" a non-collectible (unless it's a convertible) car with "major rust"? You would have done much better to find a good example to start with (even if you had to have it transported to your location) than trying to fix up a rustbucket, but oh well...
