Long way to go but I'm getting closer. Cleaning and touch up painting the engine bay now. Dropping gas tank and cleaning is next.

Looking good,lots of elbow grease and sweat equity ....

That elbow looks kinda suspious compared to the other one. It's the grease.

Sort of off topic, does you're 77 have a sloped luggage deck or flat? I am still looking for pictures

Do you need pics of the sloped or flat deck? Mine is the flat. The 77 up to 4/77 came with sloped deck. 5/77 and on was the flat. Didn't mean to jack the thread. grantf you can PM me if you want

Mine was made 09/'76 and titled a '77. An early '77 w/5 speed manual and sloped deck. I do have pictures.

In my #1 post the first picture is from the Craigslist ad I bought it from and the second is when I first pulled my motor. Others are after cleaning and some painting of the engine bay. My elbows need a shot of grease or cortisone.

Thanks, I do remember you posting those in the past. Pictures 5 6 and 7 are what I was looking for. Youre car is a twin of mine what vin?
