Hello, I am a new member and decided to join after many years of viewing the topics. I purchased my 1973 Gran Torino in December 1972. It was in storage since 1986 with 132K miles, and very, very rough shape due to the northeast weather. When Covid hit and everything was closed, I decided to restore. Project started in March 2020 and I hope to have this completed this year. It is finally in the last stages of the restoration.
