I finally found a good "clean" daily driver last weekend up in San Antonio. Just needs a little detail and the best thing about the car it has minor rust on the body, never been hit and pans are solid. But the only really bad spot is under the spare tire wells where is was hitting b/c of the lowered frt end. Here's a pictures of it before I got it. I'll get some new pictures when I get it off the jack stands and roll it out of the garage.

I've got the bug buffing it, cleaning the bumpers and etc...... I got new 145's for it and polished 8 spokes too. ;) Right now I'm striping the old interior out and getting a list of what I need. Whats good about this car its needs nothing major compared to the ones I've been looking at. :thumbs:

Oh forgot about this. I'm picking up a motor for the bug that has less than 2000 miles and Lyle Cherry built this Saturday. Now I can sleep better knowing that I have a good motor. :thumbs:

Finally made it home. :shock: I left town last night to Crockett to meet up with a buddy and left early this morning to pick up my Lyle Cherry motor for the bug in Ft Worth. Now I need a few engine tin and a engine stand.
