These are aftermarket wheels, only on the rear, and I'm not sure on the model or manufacturer - any ideas?

I got the bearings and collars off easily enough, without scarring the axles at all.

Brake lines were both cut since they were completely rusted into the soft lines. Looks like I'll learn how to flare brake lines now!

Axle seal and wheel bearings are the right size, always a good day when you don't have to order more parts

I took this as a good sign! This is the bearing spacer that has a few grinding spots in it from previous owners - so the bearings were done a few times.

The interior is in surprisingly nice shape for the condition of the underside of the car.

I picked my secondary color for the motor! It'll be that color gold for the front cover and rotor housings, with black irons. Kind of a pun on how much the rotor housings cost - their weight in gold almost.

Whole floor pan is rusted out really badly on the passenger side especially. This car will unfortunately probably end up being scrapped since I don't want to fab up a whole floor.

Made my own OMP block off plate with some flat steel and shears - came out pretty well! Sealed it up with some Black RTV and she'll be good!

The tabs expired in November 1996, meaning that they were bought before November 1995 most likely. So this car sat for the last 20 years.
