It sat until I was given the vehicle in the summer of 1987. I fixed it up as well as a teenager could, using Hemmings Motor News to source parts, and as well as a local GM dealer, since a lot of new GM parts were still available. I drove it year round from August 1991-June 1998, when it became very rusted again with 93,541 miles on it. It sat at my parents field until June 2023, when I trailered it and it's 1972 donor to my house to finally be rebuilt. I had collected many NOS parts over that 25 year span.

It's not done yet, but finally, I am seeing light at the end of this very long tunnel.

I'm guessing you are converting it to disc brakes?
