Today i picked up a 81 sport coupe,
I got it really cheap,
It has a blown head gasket,bad window regulator and a few other minor things.
The body is straight, a few dings here and there.
I plan on replacing the driver side fender since the one on it right now is in rough shape.
Other than that the car is nice.
The interior is all there with no tears or rips.it just needs a good cleaning.
The dash can use a new pad but that can wait.
The plan is to get it running decent and lower it on a nice set of wheels.
I want to daily it for the next few weeks while i down my wagon.
Here are a few pics of the car

Right on! I'm starting to move on mine. Picking up a Weber 32/36 from Toyota1515 soon and gonna paint at the end of this month. Cutting the springs temporarily until I get real suspension. Rear bumper is getting shaved this weekend!

Glad to see someone working on the same car at the same time! I look forward to more!
