how prepared ARE you to keep driving the FB?

or mike needs a GSL-SE to restore....

cleaning up storage i ran across the box of new taillights, i ordered the last 3 pairs.

also a pair of wipers, 83 i think.

pair of new rear carpets, one of the red ones was the last one.

last one is the panel that goes at the rear of the hatchback

Check and roger it will be at least a year, we have to take the body all the way to metal to do it right but we are dedicated to restoring it accurately
