Nice car Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, bargain of the week... Hope you have plenty of gas and wire for the MIG welder. I have a old wing from a Bora if you need to make patches for the floor.
Joking aside, it is a good project car, those front brakes big enough??, you may need them to stop the car with all the extra plates you have welded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
