Sorry all been a long minute, ended up purchasing a new house and moving operations. Winter work went out the window, were now into spring and have sprung. Still sitting with the blue front end. I have a line on the dark grey parts car that matches and has been sitting on a lot for 7 months with tremendous signs of typical rust spots. Hopeful for a direct swap over paying for paint. Rust bucket of a donor but what i need is perfect.

Non the less, functionality is priority. Have sprung some sort of leak on the drivers side by the octopus of coolant hoses. Working on tracking that down, and swapping in a rebuilt oem CV on the passenger side. More to come soon!
