The car was picked up this morning by the new owners. Glad to have it gone to someone who will be able to either use the parts from it, or possibly fix it. Bitter sweet but beyond time.


I did manage to save the brake caliper and rotor from the right front, front brake hoses, exhaust, stereo, wiper delay I previously installed, driver door seal, and engine. Those parts will be installed in the 80 if they haven't been already.


It was beyond time to get rid of the car. I couldn't save it, and it was just taking up valuable real estate in my garage/driveway.


RIP Harold II

I hope you got enough out of it to help fund some of the remaining items on the '80.  I know it's hard letting go, but sometimes it's the only logical thing to do.

At least those of us that seem the car and followed this post know how bad it was underneath and all over. My 80 has some rust underneath but repairable and in much better overall shape.
