74SE Charger Restorations Estonia

[chr74]

Hi
I decided to show you the construction of my 74 Charger SE.Ibought the car in July 2007 USA and recived by Christmas.In the beginning I just planned to drive araund.But when I had got it.I was sure that without repairs I can`t do.
In spring I discovered something stunning.I could n´t even dream that the body was so rotten.The only good thing was that all the parts I took off the gar were in good shape.
As it appeared that there was no sense to reconstruct the body.I started thinking about baying one more car with the body in a better condition.I found one and bought it in Ebay.After I had received the donor car,I took it apart,and this car was really much better.
I cleaned the body with blaster then gave it a primer to avoid rust.
On the pictures you can see the condition of my car at the moment.

I´m liv  ESTONIA

IMO: Look around for another car, you can fix it but it's going to be some serious coin and you don't even know how bad it is under the stuff you can't see yet

[john.v]

     yes, maybe your donar car is better than yours that you have right now

[Nacho-RT74]

If you have the money to restore that, you have the money to buy another one in better conditions and less headaches. keep that oen to spare parts ( if rest someone ).

They both must have been upper east coast cars.
Good luck with your projects. To be brutally honest, the money your going to spend verses buying one complete is going to be way upside down. I think you would have come out way ahead investing in a very nice driver. Or am I assuming the gold one was bought sight unseen and the seller forgot to tell you something?

Hind sight is always 20-20. We get into these things 1 step at a time. When done I can see he will have a fine car and have saved a Charger!  Good job!
