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.
