Okay so it's not a beauty just yet

You can spot my other car in this photo

The car is almost all white except where it appears they ran out of paint

A shot of the rear. Although I like Iron Maiden and Metallica a bit I don't think they belong on the back do you? The rust under the hatch is still a mystery to me. I am still trying to open the hatch.

Yep the body is going to take some real hard work. Lucky it's white it doesn't actually look as bad as it is.

The ugly mug: Why oh why would they paint everthing white - Even the antenna

Yep the windshield is broken too!

The interior needs a little work

Too bad they busted the dashboard near the radio too.

At this point I had to run and close the top on my good car and the hoods too. Looked like a maniac running from car to car. The vert is a 19K mile car with untouched engine compartment. Perfect to compare my other 85 coupe against

It makes me wonder what exactly DO people DO to their cars to get them into this condition, and really now, WHAT does the inside of their home look like

I see you're other car is a Nissan Altima, Dk. Grey ?

hehe yep my house is actually across the street from the white car.

My current car collection includes:

85 ASC vert "Bone Stock"
85 ASC coupe (with sunroof

)
86 ASC coupe auto
79 Turbo capri
67 Camaro RS/SS BBC 6 speed w/n2o
81 Buick Regal BBC auto w/n2o
94 Chevy Suburban tow vehicle

I had a Subaru WRX but after $4,000 and only getting it in the 12's I sold it.

More pictures are to come of the de-uglifying of this ASC. I already replaced the windshield and the bolt on parts in the front that were painted white. Next comes the moldings. Now if I could just open the hatch I would do the tail lights!

My apologies for the large pictures I will re-size all the pictures a bit smaller next time. This fills my screen and I run 1600X1200 res.

Meh. Tear it down and rework the body then reassmble. Should take 1 or 2 weekends tops
