Hello,
people. It's been a long time. How long?
I was 17 when I bought my first
(used) gremlin for $127.00 and 2 boxes
of Proferra's pizza (had to be right
from the pizza place, not store
bought) It was a 74 plain jane 6
cyl.
When that car was all but dust, I ended up buying a 73 levis with
a
304. I bought a 75? ambassador cause it had a 360/727, that
eventually
made its way into the gremlin. That was about 18 years ago.
Since then, I
found myself wanting another gremmie, and wanting to do
all of the things
to it that i could not afford back then.
I recently bought a 74 gremlinX
that was on ebay. It's a wreck. It
needs ALOT of work, but
the
uniframe/floorwells/quarters/fenders/rockers are SOLID. I
live in
Pennsylvania, and found the car close to Fargo North Dakota. It
is
truely a calif. car. all of the rust is surface rust only. Well
woth
the 1500 mile trec (1 way) to pick it up.
I am about to dive into
this car 100%. What I want to know, some of
those things I want to do, have
they ever been done to a gremlin before?
I have been looking high and low
but cannot find a gremlin with shaved
doorhandles and locks, or power
windows. Nor have I seen any
substituted interiors. Iwas thinking of using
a dash, console, seats,
and column from a 2001-2003 PT Cruiser.
I am
also looking for a 401 to put in the gremlin, it need not be in
good shape,
as I plan on (re)building the motor myself.
I also need a drivers side
door. The one on the car is caved in
pretty good. I could fix it, but it
will need alot of attention.
Also, is there a patch panel available for
the door nader pin area?
was thinking I am going to ned to mig a piece of
stock from the inside.
