1985 NCHP
So my plans for my SSP have changed a bit. I was planning on pulling the engine and fixing the inner apron and frame rot this winter. Although at this point it seems like winter will never end I was hoping to be well into this process by now. But I am still weeks away from getting it into the garage. When I bought the car I was not sure if I was ever going to fully restore the car. But knew I would not change anything that could not be easily put back to original if needed. Today I am still not sure about fully restoring it. But I 100% want to drive it. So I am going to start working on it with the plan of putting it on the road this year. I don't want it to sit waiting on a full restoration or rip into it and it never be put back together. I am going to start with the under hood wiring once I get it in the garage. I will update with pictures once I get started.

Realized that maybe I should have posted this in the 1982-1986 section, if needed please feel free to move it. Ty

You've got a good plan. Getting it on the road will keep your interest in the car up for sure. Then as you are enjoying it you can decide what you ultimately want to do with it.

Sounds like a good plan. I know that I much prefer to have a running project than a pile of parts in the garage.
This is the perfect place for this thread!

Well I finally got it on the road. Still needs a full restoration, I did just enough to get it on the road. I am sure the original cats are shot so its not breathing really well. It certainly is the ugly ducking for now. It had been sitting for the last 10 years so still took some doing to get it on the road. Just going to keep plugging along doing what I can for now. Next is putting the power windows back in. I switched out the doors but the ones I put on have no power widows or locks.
