Okay here it is!
I told you all it was ugly!
But it is realitively straight... and besides the flat tires (that hold air for about 24 hours), the mechanics are all there.
I have already stripped all the trim off (not pictured, these pics were taken right as teh car came home) and started preping it for paint... or primer.
I have some 17in 4x114 rims with tires (but they're ugly too... but they hold air), maybe they will be on the car in the next picture.

And no there is no damage to that front wheel. We almost rolled the tire off when loading the car on the flatbed... but it didn't rash the rim... there is flat rubber under there somewhere!

I did notice the worst body part is where someone tried to jack the car up on the rocker panel... I hate that... well, nothing a body puller and a sledge hammer can't fix...
Or I could just use the sledge hammer on the entire car and I would still get my $100 out of it (in fun)... Now I just need to find time to work on it!

WOW, that is cheap. You can't hardly give your car a tune-up/flush the fluids for that anymore.
The new fuel pump and a battery was twice as much as the car!!!
Hopefully, I will get a moment to work on it this weekend!

IT LIVES!
Just like and SE! 8 years of silence and rot, and it runs like a kitten... well, and old scruffy kitten... but a kitten non the less.
I definately had to drain the fuel.
Originally, I put in the new fuel pump and fuel filter and I tried running the old fuel through. No Go, gas smelled like detergent... not even gas. So I drained it and replaced it with a gallon of fresh fuel. She started right up... kind of. There was still bad fuel in the lines and she ran rough for a moment or two (having trouble reving up and idling). After giving it a break, I started it back up to rev the **** out of it and see if I could burn out the spiders and "pop" she switch over and ran perfectly. She idles, revs smoothly through the numbers and seems to be happy as a clam. And of course like and SE, she starts right back up every time now.
Now I have to replace the clutch hydraulics. I had a couple of master and slave rebuild kits, but took the cylinders off and they are rusted solid. The previous owner said the slave cylinder was leaking, and the knuckle heads left the cap off the master cylinder... full of water. Guess I'll have to get a couple cheap NAPA or KRAGEN parts.
Than I get to break the clutch loose!
I put on some old rims I had, that still hold air. She almost looks like a car! Just wait til I primer her and she is one color!
I took pics and will post them when I get back to work on Monday.
