So when i was 16 years old and in the process of receiving my license, my dad and I decided we wanted to do a father son project. so i looked and looked and saw this lime green boat of a car and said i have no idea what that is but got to have it for 3,000. sold my four wheeler and bought it the next day. since then(been a few years) we have done a ground up restoration, anywhere from frame work to fiber-glassing a new dash. Basically my dad faded off the project and i took over and decided it wasn't good enough so i took everything apart sand blasted, painted, replaced for bigger and better, you name it. just recently took the engine out for the 3rd time and re painted the engine bay, organized all my wiring fixed a few clearance issues with the new hooker comps going in.. (first time the company who originally built the motor somehow managed to put a head gasket upside down, considering it says TOP, right on the top side:icon_confused:)

So here are some pictures of my little project i wish i still had all the restore pictures in the process, but ill just show you where im at now.

Also i need a new convertible top frame!! and a new paint job green is faded and chipped.So if anyone knows where i can find a frame or anyone that can weld aluminum that wont cost me an arm and a leg would be greatly appreciated.:icon_thumby:

Very nice.. I had a 73 Sport that I tried to restore in my driveway under a tarp, lol. It was a piece of shit.
 
You want some more documetaion on it as far as numbers, get a Marti Report for $40. Breaks down your VIN and data plate, even the selling dealer. Tells how many of that body, color, engine/trans and some other facts.
