I have had the car for about 5 years now. I'm building it as a driver so fixing it up as I go.
The car was from Beausejour MB. My aunt bought the car in 2012 with plans of fixing it up. The car was parked in 97 from what we where told, unfortunately it ended up siting for about 4 years in a wet garage where I ended up getting the car. It continued to sit for another year before I brought it home in the spring of 2017. Since then I started off with the mechanical getting it from being dry seized to running. Then I started on the brakes, all new shoes wheel cylinders on all 4 corners, new master and all new lines. I attempted to repair the gas tank with no luck so got a new tank for it. So now it is a running and driving time to start on the rust and body work. Still in progress but she is on the road as of 2019.
thanks . i made the quarters wrong unfortunately. the last person who did the rust repair just put metal over top and covered it with filler so i didn't have anything to go off of.

I have some family who live just outside of Vivian;
My car was parked in an old barn there for over winter 1996/spring 1997 just before I made the hard decision to move back to Alberta.
The title of your thread made me remeber that I drove to Beausejour one time on a quest for a Sllurpee in summer 1996 - I was an excuse for a drive on roads less travelled (by myself);
The best I could come up with was an "ice-ee"(??)
It was a slushy made with ice and flavoured syrup.
It sucked (punn not intended).
I never made the trip there again - in part to no slurpees ;)

the valve covers where just placed on to keep the dirt out well we changed the intake manifold from 2br to 4 br. still rocking the factory heater core hoses but will need to Chang them this year or next year as there starting to weep.
With that Edelbrock intake, you might have to rig something up for your upper alternator bracket. The thermostat housing is in a different spot than original, and the upper alternator bracket bolts onto the thermostat housing.
