The new 84TC is home August 20, 2006, 10:54:09 AM Well after a couple months of trying to sort out the road trip, the new aquisition is home from NC.Loaded behind the tow vehicleGumby cooling off after we had to screw around with turning it around on the dolly. I've towed the silver car tail up before, but this one did not like it. So much so it broke the rear bumper cover unloading it. At least it was the rear though and not the front. A final shot of the car on the dolly before we left Hickory, NC. As a side note, whoever laid out the streets there needs to be shot. Check it out on Google maps sometime....:flame: Overall I'm ok with the car. Evidently the guy only cleaned the car once in the 2 years he had it....and that's when he took the pics. It's filty, absolutely filty. It's rust-free underneath and the spots on the body are just surface spots that can be take care of quickly and easily and I can concentrate on the engine swap. I'm a bit pissed about the cracked windshield that I didn't know about, but it will be ok for now. For $300 though, it's a good solid foundation.I'll get a few more pics the next couple of days. It was 3AM when we finally got back to Indy (left here at 8AM). It's sitting at my work until I get my storage cleaned out, so I can get a couple pics tomorrow. Quote Selected

The new 84TC is home Reply #8 – August 21, 2006, 05:08:51 PM Well I took a couple more pics today. You can see the little bit of rust on the driver side and at the bottom of the pass door. Nothing terrible. Notice the mold on the pass rear quarter :rolleyes: The hood is covered in a layer of scuzz...not sure what it is.There is this on the top of the car. Nothing a little work can't fix, it's just from sitting outside in the southern heat/humidity.And finally a couple pics of the interior. Aside from it being totally dirty, it's not too bad. The headliner is still attached, which is kind of a surprise. Quote Selected
