1st order of business was to get all the doors and everything to hold themselves up because it was pretty annoying so Rob sent me a set of pistons. I also picked up some cheap tires to get the car easy to roll around. I also ordered fuel pump, accumulator, tune up kit, fuel system parts etc. to try and get her to fire.

I don't know if I got a defective piston or if my drivers door needs and adjustment but my passenger door flys up and has a lot of power in the piston and the drivers door doesn't and sags. Ill have to ask Rob and see if it needs to be exchanged.
the only damage I have found on the frame is a little crumple zone rinkle but nothing that cant be fixed.
The rims were an interesting surprise. I took the tires of the front rims and found that one of the rims is a dark grey on the inside even thought all the rims on the car are light gray. I don't know if the outside is just to faded that I cant tell or what. the Dark grey rim is stamped year 80 on the back and the light grey is stamped 81. Interesting....lol I would love the know the story behind that. I plan on sending these in to DMC to get a refurbished or just exchanged for a Dark Grey set as I prefer them. I had to cover the rim in tire snot to get the bead to seal because so much paint was flaking of or corroding.
