I wasn't going to start a dedicated thread for this car but, I really want to document everything in one spot. I find myself looking back through posts to find a picture, having it all in one spot will help keep everything organized. I have done a fair amount of work to this car, and I have a lot more planned for it. I am really up in the air about final engine plans. I have been seriously considering a gen 1 coyote swap, or doing a big cam setup in the 3v. I will try to let the pictures do most of the talking.
I grabbed this car from the original owner. It was very neglected and ran in the dirt, but mechanically sound. I gave $800 for it, threw a hot battery in it and for the first time in 2-3 years it fired right up and I drove it on the trailer.

A couple hours after owning the car, I found why it was parked. The heater hose under the intake was very brittle and broke.

Got that swapped out and started ordering parts for the car. After this coolant hose, I was able to drive it back and forth to work.
