Hello, all. I just got in a 69 XR7 convertible, M code, with factory air and disc brakes. The car is rough, not just from rust but from an accident. The car was a theft recovery which was then written off by the insurance company. I was not given a title for the car, but a certificate of destruction was offered. With work (maybe an out of state title) I might be able to get one. The car was a light green with white interior. It's now red with a strangely recovered white interior. The car also has no drivetrain, all that's left was a 4bbl carb. The entire radiator and side core support has been replaced with a 68 cougar version, which does not fit and must be totally redone. The car has rust and would need a lot of bodywork. The frame rails and trunk are in nice shape, however. Essentially this car is in need of a total restoration. I would like some opinions on what to do on the car. While it is rough, I haven't seen many project cars that aren't. I was almost hoping someone on here might want it for a project, as it would be really nice when done and just needs a hardtop parts car to make it complete. It would make a great restomod for someone, too.
