welcome to the board.

that's a beautiful car, and a beautiful story. i like reading things like this.

you mentioned wiring and exhaust, is that all you need to get is running?

definitely get yourself acclimated to the board, then you can start a proper build thread as you work and get the car sorted. plenty of knowledge on this board, and people willing to help.

Welcome!!! That's a car to hold onto and the cherish. Cars and deals like that are very hard to come by. Would love to see a build thread on the car in the 1st Gen Builds Section! Can't wait to see how this turns out!
