1. The first inspection


The next step will be to dig in the car and have a look to all the details - the good ones and the bad ones.

From outside it looks good - better with the original rims ( white ) than the ones, which was driven by the previous owner.

And from inside:

 The leather needs some care, but there a no scratches or holes. The carpet is grubby...
I love walnuts - but not on the dash.

The engine :
A very clean valve box, but a spilling Holley - see the brown areas below the carb.

The front and rear suspension :
Big breaks but no steel braided brake hoses


 See here the anti bump steer kit on front and rear:



The frame at its worst area: The front end of the rear wheel well:



The body has some scratches and the doors will fit "nearly" perfect:





In conclusion, it was not a bad first inspection. There are a lot to do, but most is cosmetics.
The technics is complete and in a good condition.

Biggest issue will the rust,
second the - sorry for the English - wrong drivers position and
third to turn the pensioner suspension to a race proven suspension, which will bring a smile in my face... !
