Ok here is the first day bringing the car home.
Rolling chassis complete, front end, upper doors, lower doors, no rear body, no bulkhead, (or firewall). 1 windshield, no side pods.
Chassis:
Attachment 211
The front upper shock mounts look pretty bad. The rear lower shock mounts look weak too. The rear springs must make weird noises in those spring buckets. I don't know I never drove one. All things I am changing. Shocks are blown and not rebuildable, all shocks and springs are getting replaced.
Chassis front:
I found an entire Mirage body for sale in Texas. This picture is in Texas. Paid for it and shipped it here. I thought I might make a rear body hatch. Much better to buy one, countless hours saved.
Front of car is white, rear is yellow.
I sold some duplicate parts I did not need.
I kept 2 windshields, 2 upper doors, and 2 T bars.
The upper doors I might finish with 1 set with windows, 1 set with no windows.
Crusty, sandblasted, powdercoated crinkle black.
