So, I'm a big enough dummy that I just now figured out where this part of the forum was

Either way, here's some pics of my car from when I got it, to now. Roughly in chronological order
It's actually a 1980 but I swapped the front clip and the panels from a 77.
2.3 4-speed
Named Raquel
This was the day I bought her

A couple weeks later, she got a roll on chalkboard paint job

After looking for several months, I finally found a donor car for the older front clip and panels

The cat likes the car as you can tell

Chopped up my -80 to use on this front clip because it's impossible to find the right grille

Then came the disaster of a white paint job

The pictures doesn't look too bad but trust me, it was 100 times worse in person.

Currently she has this orange rattle can paint job until I can afford to have her professionally painted. It's not perfect but it works!
