Well it's been a little while since I posted on here but I’ve made some progress. The last post was when I was debating on whether or not to take the car to body shop to have the frame straightened...well I did and man am I glad. They saved me a ton of time and headache and gave me a list of parts that need to be replaced to get back to spec.
I ordered a replacement fender and when it came it was for another car altogether. (I think a 5 Series) When I called the company they told me it was too expensive to ship back so I could just keep it. (how nice of them) I still haven't ordered the replacement fender but should be in the near future unless someone has one they'd like to donate. I ordered the passenger side mirror and it too was the wrong one so i sent it back an got lucky on Craigslist. There was a local guy who sold me both for $50. I bought the A/C condenser from another local guy who later sold me a set of 42's. I lost my job and just decided to go to school full time but since my awesome wife is still making decent money I can continue the rebuild just at a much slower pace.
I'm a long way from finished but here are a couple of shots. My parts list is growing but if you guys know where I can pick these up cheap or feel the need to donate them hit me up.
