Finally finished off the brakes. Now it can stop, which is always a good thing. Couldn't drive it until the brakes at least worked. Replaced the rear brake lines on both sides, the cylinders, shoes, hardware, calipers, pads, drivers side front brake line.

Got a new exhaust welded up at the local muffler shop. Single straight pipe all the way back.

Need to get the belts changed and new oil filter. Has dual filters on it, odd. Going to coroplast up some floor pans and great stuff foam the rust hole sites. Redneck I know, but whatever works. Dual purpose belly pan. Needs windshield wipers, they've biodegraded into nothing. Fix the shift support from the shifter to engine tube, rusted through at one spot. Coroplast fix the lower doors. Drill through and secure coroplast on the lower 1/2.

Still has a lot of 'needs' but at least it's drivable. Plan to title and register it on my next day off & the DMV is open. Here are some after pics. Took forever to scrub all the filth off the car. Inside is decent now too. Anyway here are some updated pics after the fixes.

Prime & Purge the fuel



Worst area of rust on the car, under the drivers feet. I'm going cheap with double coroplast shoved in. It's solid for the most part, has some areas with issue though.



Only has 114,000 miles on it. Title says 96,742 *odometer - actual.



Need to fix the brace for the shifter / engine brace. Still shifts good though.



Coroplast cover sections for the lower doors by drilling holes and screwing in.
