the heap
Im contemplating selling the heap and saving up my money and buying a 69 camaro instead, I just dunno, I love the car but its so far gone. The rear air shocks are shot. The rockers are nothing but rot along with the doors. Both front fenders are toast along with the bumper fillers, headlight bezels and turnsignal lenses. The rear quarter panels have a nasty rot spot right behind the wheel well. The Oil pump is toast and the motor has a cracked rod, and theres about a quarter size hole in the radiator. Both the front and rear bumpers are rusted through. The brakes are beyond gone. The front windshield is so loose it vibrates like crazy every time you hit a pot hole. The head liner has to be replaced on the car. All of the weather stripping needs to be replaced. Plus on top of that the frames pretty rusted. Oh, the cars running on straight headers, theres no exaughst left on it. About a year ago the wiring harness caught fire and had to be replaced and when I had it replaced the people who did it, did a half assed job on it, so only about half of the electrical works right. That just about everything that has to be fixed to restore it back to a decent condition, then ive to find the money to build the drivetrain I want or have it built by someone here in indiana, I just dunno I Love the car but its turned into a nightmare. So on this note whats everyones advice? Junk it and save for a grand national in decent condition? Save if from the scrap heap and spend the next 5 years of my life and every penny I earn trying to make it into a show car / race car, Or Junk it and buy a 1969 z28 , my other dream car. Oh the history of the car, I have the origional sales sticker from 1984 and im only 17 hehe. The car was bought from some old lady by my grandpa, it had sat in her garage for years. He drove it until 96 then my mom got it. Just this year the car was given to me yeah it was rusted and rough but it wasnt this bad. Now the car has 500,000 miles on it and has tangled with 2 differnt deer one on the front left one on the front right, the sad thing is the car ran, up to two weeks ago and ran like a top, then all heck broke loose. One week it was the fuel pump , then it was the choke, then the thermostat, now the oil pump and most likely a cracked rod, oh and the radiator. All this went bad in 2 weeks, talking about bad luck for me. So what does the Buick loving population say I do?
