Great score, welcome now in earnest. I am sure there is more to the rust than the pictures show, but it's not as bad as allot of cars are, even on this site. Good luck with the project, just remember.... "baby steps". Try and keep it on the ground running as much as you can to keep your interest perked. You'll find all the info you need right here.

Congrats on the new Coupe. I think it is the first Coupe on the east coast. What a tease with those pics. I hope you plan to post a bunch of them up. I need to get over there and see it in person.

Before you go ripping it apart for a full resto, maybe keep it running like it is for a while and bring it to the east coast 510 meet this spring. I am sure the east coast guys would love to see a BB Coupe in person.

Let me know what I can do to help out on this one.
Enjoy The Ride!

Great car, good luck. I 2nd the idea of keeping it running and bringing it to the East Coase 510 meet, I'd love to see it.
I want dibs on your front seats if you decide to go a more custom route. Can I see a picture of the seats?

Sweet project!! What are the plans? I see you are keep the factory seats but what about drive train, suspension and that kinda thing. I wasn't really a fan of the coupes until I saw Rich's now I want one :D I enjoy fixing rust, its fun you'll see :D
