Well the wife decided she wanted one after I finished Satan. Sooooooo. I picked up a project 92 St185 which I had talked him into purchasing 4-5 years back I think. The motor is Satan's original motor which another buddy purchased and then sold to the other buddy haha.
It was a roller which was in a front end accident years back and left for dead in a junkyard. Some guy in florida purchased it and did his "best" to replace the radiator support. We will get back to that shortly. Which is when my buddy picked it up and eventually brought it to his fathers hunting ranch 3 years back.
Day we picked it up
fenders got crunched when removing it from the shed
After a quick bath time at the local car wash it was time to toss her in the garage
Up on rollers to make it easy to move around
The first few days were spent cleaning and removing most everything from the engine bay.
Previous previous owner had cut a hole for a "cold air intake".. he used a drill bit over and over until he could punch a whole. Cut a patch panel piece from one of the bad fenders to repair.
I cant seem to find the pictures of the welds on the radiator support before but itss hard to explain how bad it was. fixed those up
Deleted door guards. rear wiper. rear spray nozzle. Welded holes.
Found a bit of body work previously done on the passenger door. A bit of rust was found behind all the door guards which seems to be common.
One week into the build
