Greetings,
I bought a 72 Torino base model back in April. 302 2 barrel with 3 spd manual on the tree. Engine runs great and the car had a lot of new mechanical parts. The seller was intending to restore but decided to sell because of medical problems. It has some rust damage and I have been working through the tear down so I can make repairs. Props to California Johnny for the pics of how to remove the cowl cover. That helped immensely. I have a floor pan to replace and some damage on the firewall near the driver's side toe board and obviously the rust damage in the cowl and other places. She needs a lot of TLC and some cosmetic work but I think it's worth saving. Will post some pics later.

That's my story and this is my hello world so to speak. Smile

Welcome.  Nice to see a Base model build, there doesn't seem to be many left out there anymore.
