A little more movement towards the ultimate goal... fresh AMD quarters & minor metal work/rust repair around trunk opening & along drip rails. Had a new striker panel/door jamb section patched in on passenger side. Section around front windshield opening (A-pillars) & trunk lid in progress now.

Not much new going on here... got the car back home this past week for a bit while I do some grunt work stripping the engine bay down. Body man needed the space for another car for a minute. But it feels good to see that the main fuselage is squared up & the heavy lifting on rust repair is done!

Looking good! The rust repair is tedious - but has to be done right. Can't wait until I am through with that part. Scott.

The necromancer has returned, to raise this zombie thread from the dead once more :lol:
I haven't been on this site in a long time. But I have been working on the car here and there as I can.

Engine bay is only part of the car painted so far (GB7 Evening Blue).
Steering column had to be installed temporarily to move the car around; will come back out for a rebuild.
Had to get the engine out of storage at my buddy's garage, he needed the room.
Hosting site wanted to flip some pics for whatever reason?

Anyway, here's the pic dump:

Nice! And welcome back! Only a few of us posting much anymore. It seems the site is slowly fading away......

I for one hope this site doesn't fade away.
We need more guys to start working on projects and bring back as many Runners and GTX's & Satellites as possible... :D

Thanks. Yep, kinda looks like a deserted boomtown around here these days.

Edited previous pic dump post... don't know why the last few links were bad, but I uploaded a few shots of the engine.
