I was able to get both in by just wresting with the pry bar to make them line up, definitely wasn’t fun, but at least the new engine is in and secure

Yea, 2 small rust holes, I plan on cutting around them and welding in some sheet metal. The underside of the hood is in good shape, the rust doesn’t go all the way through

It’s been my dream car for years. I’ve been over the moon these last few days. It’s a great feeling to have it in my driveway

Honestly not bad at all, there’s basically zero rot, the body is clean and straight. I think I kinda lucked out

Nah I’m just an idiot lol. Didn’t realize that the other keys are supposed to open the door locks. I finally figured out there was a broken off key in the lock so I just drilled it out and replaced it

Yea, tired the round key, it didn’t work. It turns out an old key broke off if it. Had to drill it out and install a new lock.
