Awesome, Steve! I'm sure TR will be happy to see the car restored to it's former glory right before it goes into the crusher

Pete's car is coming along nicely. The boy and I have done the following so far:
-Had frame straightened -installed new used parts that we and some friends (thanks Mark and Noel) had lying around: header panel, turn signal, radio, center armrest, steering wheel, spark plug wires, etc. -fixed broken odometer -fixed oil leak at front cam seal (bolt was previously stripped..what a PITA) -changed oil -fixed broken brake pad sensor so the light now works -fixed mpg gauge (not sure why) -replaced water neck and bleed screw that was stripped -made proper bushing for power steering pump -fixed broken fog lights -properly routed vacuum lines so not to run rich -replaced broken vacuum temp switch -fixed the clock -remounted seats on aftermarket rails that were reversed -replaced sun shade -replaced sunroof motor -fixed leaks in tail lights -swapped rear hatch with one not loose from frame -plus a bunch of other little odds and ends that the boy has been tinkering with. Total invested so far is about $1650 including the car. All that is left is to replace front rotors, do some minor body work on the passenger fender and slap a coat of paint on the damaged areas and wa-lah! When the boy gets his license in a couple of months he'll be driving a P-car. Spoiled brat.....

Nice job, Steve. If he drives anything like his Dad, we'll be seeing him in our mirrors soon. Hope he realizes how lucky he is to have a Dad who can do cars...
