OK, so I'm always browsing as all of us are, and I run into this, which actually reminds me of the worst performance engine thread quite a bit. I hope this link stays open for a while because I don't know how to save and post the whole page with pics. Nonetheless, this is totally the kind of next project (other than the next project that must be a tow-worthy truck with 4WD and a V8) that I would go for.
I would just tune it up, do some work on the suspension, give it some new tires and maybe wheels. Sanding and primer over time and then a trip to MAACO for the el presidente paint job in an appropriate color, like some kind of burnt sienna. Just totally cool. (Its a 76 Vega with a 262 and a 350 turbo trans with an asking prioce of $1,000 in case its gone, but I think this will stick around for a few days).
