Welcome. I'd take care of the bodywork first, try to neutralize as much of the rust as you can. Then I'd replace those dropzone springs. The rims look good.

am I seeing a plaid painted valve cover also?

Yes the valve cover is plaid.. Its how i bought the car. I am going to be painting it wrinkle black or something to that effect.

I say if it isn't chipped and you can clean it up just keep it, it's definitely unique.

I think only like one other guy on here has his painted like that, maybe two.

Yeah the body work is my first priority!! Its not bad rust but since I bought the car wrecked, I have A LOT of body work to do. So Once I get the front end finished and put back together. I am going to work on the rust on the drivers rear side.

 

[GregK]

Yeah the valve cover is chipping bad so thats why im painting it a different color!

 

[almightyfargoth]

oh ok, well might as well start fresh and paint it then.
