That was project “learn a lot “ engine swap - build mounts / swap components - brakes, front suspension, major body work - lots of welding and tin forming skills developed here. Purchased and scrapped another for some parts. it was many colours for a while as it was mage from several cars. A friend did final paint work. Bought it for 130.00 second one for 75.00 , had 100.00 in larger engine. Bought it all when I was 15, had it on the road for the trip to get beginners licence. Drove it for 3 years and made a trade deal on a 2 door Malibou. They all have a storywhat, your father not like you then, make you drive that lol
