So in my infinate wisdom I thought that as I built up Bluebell, I would use the extra parts for a basket case that I found. and promply called her Yellowbell. (it's my world, don't worry bout it) anywho here she is as I got herhome and unloaded here from the trailer

with some of her parts inside

and the cut out cancer luggage tray

So I new that I was going to store her so I wanted to try and preserve her, and so I pulled the body and made some homemade wheels and started to sand

and the inside

and trunk

inside luggage with doner car piece just set in

and sand and primer and sand and primer

I screwed a metal bat across the doors and never opened them while I had it off pan. lifted pan because I am fat and can not fit under to wire brush and paint

What happened to the deck lid that was on it when you got it home? That's a quad-7 vent lid, 71 vert only lid.

Here it is. I am not sure why I swapped it when I pulled the body from the pan. But I did.

and then I set it back on the pan for storage

once again the luggage doner just set in

and in the trunk with no more wires

This is the most challenging of my future repairs

and I need to get the top pin out so I can get some welding done on the hinge

This is a future project, just treated and painted (rattle can) just to slow down the rust process, till I decide to jump in or sell
