I totaled it when I was 21. It sat at my dads in the country since 2017. It was set to be scrapped the week after I picked it up. There was a rat the size of a small melon who called it home. This was my first project car ever honestly so I am learning as I go. I did all the fluids, plugs, wires, radiator, core support, etc. got the car to turn over and tries to start every time. Now I’m waiting on an iacv and I think it will be back on the road for the first time in 10 years soon 💪🏼 im also only about halfway done but just been very excited at seeing this car come back from the dead.

How did you straighten out the body so well?
