    This maybe a deal for someone both Tii’s look very savable and the Sahara car looks in good shape as well…a lot of time and money needed to add any value if you can’t do a lot of the work yourself… Should be a fun auction to watch…

    Welcome to the club. Hope the price was right, it’s needs a fair amount of time/money/work but has good bones and is well worth saving…not sure about the extra fuel tank sure there’s a story, but the rust I see is fixable and from setting out in weather and not from salt. Barney

Dan i’m retired and the cars are my new job/project…its all about being able to put the man hours in consistently to made progress…also i was a General Contractor and we did not get paid until the project was completed, so I understand finishing the job… five cars completed in six years…

    The glasurit paint and primer to paint a car is over 3k and would be wasted on a garage paint job…have the car painted by someone who paints cars and use BASF two stage in the Taiga metallic…my Ceylon Gold metallic in BASF Paint.

    Ken, your are correct the bolt is facing the wrong Direction…I rebuilt that pedal box over a year ago on the bench and I never noticed that I had that in wrong… I rebuilt that box with the Ireland Engineering upgrade kit that puts bearings on the shaft so I’m hoping it’s good for a while and I am already 67 years old…Barney
