Soon my friend; soon.........
Pics from this morning, just doing the final clean up and touches on the inside then I'll roll it in the garage and swap the transmission. I'm going to paint the grille and wheels gunmetal metallic with a single stage clear coat afterwards.

So I had my neighbor help me push the car in the garage this morning and I finally decided to pay this car some detailed attention as to why it wouldn't shift any longer. I got the car up on jack stands and started removing the exhaust to get to the driveshaft. After I got it removed, I went to pull the shaft out an ILL BE DAMNED!! There were 3 bolts missing from the flange adapter which in turn caused the shaft to separate from the yoke! Identified the problem! Since I had the replacement transmission sitting in the garage with the flange bolts still in it; I pulled it from there and installed them on the car. 30 minutes later I had the car down on the ground and while running straight header (LOLLL!!) I drove it around the block
CAR DRIVES! For $500 and a swapped out black interior, I'd say that's a WIN! Now on to the finishing touches since its driving!

Its weird finding these cars at the prices I've been able to get them for. Now every time I go to the dealership to buy little replacement pieces to get the car back on the road, gaskets and whatnot; the parts guy always says "What deal did you stumble up on today bro!!"

I need to order them but can't get confirmation whether they are the same or different. Thanks
