The story

I bought this car 2 yrs. ago. Drove it 45 miles to my house So Lucky! Tires dry rotted and separated when getting on exit ramp. There was no interior,(seats,headliner,door,door panels, Floor pans) My angels were watching over me on that trip. I have slowly put new pans in, custom buckets seats(2004 Santa Fe)New everything. I have been restoring from ground up. Alotta fun but also alotta work — lovemy78GT
