I started this project about 2 years ago now and it's been almost as long since the car was in one piece. As it nears the home stretch of being put back together and driven, I think it's long overdue for the build thread.
As such these first posts are going to contain a lot of images more than explanations, so just enjoy the progression, or ask questions if you have them.
First though, a little history: This car has been in my circle of friends for a long time now. It started with my friend Val, who had it as a daily before I came here to California. They had a friend Behruz, who helped them keep it running for years and for whom this project is named--they did a lot of the nightmare work on this car, and without them it wouldn't be on the road today. Behruz was a selfless helping hand and treated the car like his own. Sadly he passed unexpectedly several years ago. After Behruz, Val sold the car to my close friend and former roommate Soleil, who loved it but could never give it the attention she wanted. She sold it to another friend of mine, Cody, when she moved away, and a few years after that, it became too much for Cody to handle, so I jumped at the chance of buying it and keeping it 'in the family' as it were.
Here are some before pictures from when I first bought her:
