Hello everyone, I got extremely lucky and picked up this wonderful 78 Fairmont last week. The best part was the cost, free. The story was it was grandpa's car and it had been in the garage for years and they finally wanted it gone. Over the likely 30 years it was in the garage it was used as storage, and the punk grandkids broke a window and did some lovely graffiti on it. That is the bad part, the good part is it has a clean CA title and its rust free.
I'm not sure the what the end product will be, but a full restoration is going to happen. I really like the direction that Project Ugly Horse was going, and that is what I am leaning towards. Hence the name Project Ugly Box. This is my first Fox, I have had a 67 Mustang, 69 F100, 71 Galaxy, 69 BMW 2002, and a few other old BMW's. So I have ideas of what to do, but I'd like to run those ideas by the community and see what people think before I buy stuff or modify something. I'm looking to learn from others mistakes, and also blatantly copy successful things that other people have done. My intentions are for a fun street car that I can daily drive without worrying about things breaking. And with that being said, let the fun begin.
