Default here's what I have been up to...

So awhile back I bought this 97 Dakota 5.2 for 1200$. Had a bad wheel bearing so I bought it and replaced that first, and drove it for a while. Had horrible paint, bad window track for drivers side door, and the drivers side door plastic door panel was all cracked
, a bad heater core and a/c coil. Also it had bad door hung pins and a fat *** dent on the front left quarter panel... Lot of problems right? Well I can across a complete parts truck for 500$. So I got that and to or EVERY body part I could off of it. And scraped the rest out for a few hundred bucks. So finally here is a few pics of what I got going on. Right now I have the dash out along with the heater core and a/c coil, quarter panels off and doors/door hinges. Soon I will be replacing the hood and the bed.

The Chevette killed the Vega in the reliability dept. In my book, here is the worst POS ever made in America....even the K-Car was better....
