This car was purchased back in the summer of 2019 and about five minutes up the road from where I live. It had fairly low mileage, but needed some work. This pic was taken the day it was brought home.

30 Year Slumber
Here is how I found the car in March of 2019, sitting in a garage on the north shore of Long Island with junk everywhere around it. The registration on the windshield showed it had not be registered in about 30 years. It took a good amount of ‘coaxing’ with a three pound sledge to free up two of the four stuck wheels.

Here is a '79 Fiat Spyder that followed Ray home back in May of '04.
Check out that Four-Banger!!!
From this angle, the interior doesn't look too bad - but we all agreed that the top looked a lot better in the down position.
Yep, Ray had his work cut out for him on this one. . .We here at MotorMouth Radio will keep you posted on the developments.

Rebuilding the gutted interior w/ new carpet, but who ever expected to find (rotted out) fuel lines running through the cockpit?
You can't say Italian car designers lack a sense of humor!!
Practicing my aluminum forming techniques, hard line bending, and rust repair.
The dark black spots are POR-15 rust encapsulator
Close up of the Italian psycho-therapy called metal forming!
"If I had a hammer. . . "!
All repairs done, 5 hole steering wheel mounted on a 6 hole hub, and half the carpet in place.

Since my Triumph TR6 is giving me fits. . .I've decided to really abuse myself with this. . . It's an '84 Vette with that dopey 4+3 stick shift. . .and a bad reverse gear! This should be fun. . .yessirree!! |

If that's not bad enough. . .how about this: It's a '90 Pontiac Sunbird with a leaky top, and a beaming orange "Check Engine" light I need my head examined. . . |

At least I can drive to the disco in this: It's a '77 Cadillac Seville that my Dad forgot that he owned for about twelve years. . . "Get that thing outa my garage!!" he said, while stuffing the title in my pants pocket. |

. . . and always remember: It's gotta get ugly, before it gets beautiful! |
