I have a spare stock hood painted to match. I have a third stock hood in 2k sealer with a dent that's fixable. I have two or three spare driveshafts, Fox body oil pans, steering column covers, glove box covers, cowl covers, visors, glove box doors, window molding, etc. I have the original front buckets that could be redone. I have the original door panels, current ones are from an 81. . . probably more.
There is some blistering on the wheel openings and one small hole developing in the right rear lower. The body is otherwise very good and the car is very stiff and solid underneath. I have owned it since about 1990 and it has been garaged ever since and has never seen snow since then. I have too many projects and it is time for this one to move on to someone else who can enjoy it. It is very dependable and has never stranded me. Could certainly be daily driven again. I would like to see this go to a good home. Someone who does there own body and paint could certainly bring this to show worthy fairly inexpensively but really it has always been a driver for me.
