Notes:
October 2004: It is due out of the body shop in about three weeks.
I'm sure it didn't come with carpet from the factory, but I have no choice but to add
it during restoration. Makes it quieter, anyway! :)

The car will need a dual exhaust system and convertible top, and the bumpers will have to
be rechromed.
All mechanicals rebuilt, motor, transmission (including Teletouch), rear end, new
gas tank and gas lines, new brake lines and brakes. The motor runs well and
the Teletouch works fine. There are many boxes of spare parts with the car. It
is a very solid vehicle and will not take much to finish - all the hard work is done.

Notes:
Sunset Coral and White, restoration started. The body work is 90% done and needs some
fine tuning. Engine bay detailed and firewall painted, motor painted in proper
Edsel Yellow as well as the valve covers in White. The seats are all redone in the
proper pattern in Coral and White as well as the rear panels. The front door panels
will have to be acquired at SMS in Oregon, as they are missing.

Notes:
It has 98% of all the parts and has had a bunch of work done to the car
already. The car has been under restoration for some time now,
some of the work done by us and some by the owner. The previous
owner had the engine, transmission and rear end gone through and runs
great and is ready to get the exhaust system put in. It has had
most of the interior redone as well. The car has got all new brakes
and lines and master cylinder. We rebuilt the push button shifting
assembly and it works great! The car also has many extra parts
that go with this package. The bumpers are good and can be
re-chromed. The car has all the side moldings, lights, grill and
shell parts too. Dash is really nice and all the gages and switches
are very nice as well. Wiring harness is complete and the car is
close to being ready for paint. Some of the front grill items are
already re-done and are sitting in boxes ready to bolt on.
The top frame has been redone within the past 2 years and comes with the
pump and lines. You will need to get a top for it, I have the old
one. Like I said it as most all the parts you need to finish. There
will be some items you will need to get, but this is a really nice SOLID
rust-free car. Someone repaired the floor pans and the underside
of the car is nice! The quarters and fenders are very clean and
rust-free and the car has a nice set of rear fender skirts too! All
the glass is included with the car.
There are a bunch of really nice parts that can be easily refurbished to
complete the car. The customer has spent about $5000.00 with us so
far and has to under go back surgery and will not be able to finish the car.
