Made a deal this evening on a '79 Z28. The good, it's overall solid with just a couple of spots of rust on the driver's side floor, and a small area in the truck pan. Body seems to be otherwise decent. Interior is all there and fairly good. Glass is clean and clear with no cracks or damage including the T-Tops. Decent reman TH-350.

The bad...puking antifreeze out of the exhaust like a fire hose. Wiring is a mess to the point that I'm probably going to start from scratch. This was a car out of an estate where the owner passed away mid project. Not 100% sure of what I got myself in to. But, the bones seem good and there are enough decent aftermarket parts on it already that I can sell some things off and recoup most of the purchase price if things turn out to be worse than I suspect.

Anyway, here are a few pics to start with. I'll get more after I get it home this week and start seeing exact how big of a mistake I just made.
