I got a spare set out of a 73 wagon, I think they'll work. Should ask Pintony just to be sure. If they will, make me an offer.

I Started tearing out the old carpet today and got a surpise. The passenger side rear floor is rusted out! It made me cry!!!! Also where the previous owner had backed into a pole or something, it buckled the trunk pan and broke the weld on the left side against the wheel well. The only bad rust to be found so far in the front is a quater size hole in the drivers floor.

For those who are wondering, the rims are from a 1975 Mustang.

update:

Got my coils for the front. Don't have them on yet but have one side down. Two and 3/4 coils have been cut out of the old ones. the oil pan was sitting 3inches off the ground. i could even get a jackk to under the a arms. They didn't replace the shocks when they cut the coils and it beat them all hell. Pics to come.

My radiator support has a section cut out of it and the hood latch wasn't connected to anything. I got tried of it not latching without some efford and it broke the mounting tabs on the grille. So i took a piece of stainless steel channel and cut it to lengh, primed and painted, then took and screwed it on to the support and bolted the hood latch to it and it works like a charm. It will work till I have the money to buy a another support. I'll post pics tommorow.
