This is my practice car. I've never done auto body-work before - for that matter, I've never done any auto work before. I've replaced the tranny and carburetor on this car, and tweaked a great many other things, and it currently will safely carry us to Vino's and back on a warm Saturday night.
The main enemy to this car is rust. I don't feel so bad grinding and welding on this car as I do any of the others, primarily because the current paint job is crap. If the 87 Bertone becomes the family electric car, this one will remain gasoline for a while. It's just SO FUN to drive!
