Default project restore del slow

i got a '95 Del Sol shell in terrible condition. i will probably need a lot of help to fully restore it. right now its missing the windshield, driver side window, seats, door panels, door handles, one headlight, front bumper and is on flats. i have some of these parts needed. so anyways i thought i would show you guys what i will be working with.


i will continue to take and post pics of progess

it doesnt look that bad.. as long as the body is straight and rear panels are not really messed up, you would be ok..

That del Sol probably rolled over and played dead. I wouldn't restore one that's rolled over. I'd buy a used one in better shape and save my money.

Yup, lets see pictures of that roof.

Your project might be over sooner than you thought.
