First Project....
This car was headed to the junk yard after being left in a garage for 11+ years (give or take). $100 later, i have this sitting at my house.
Still working on getting a new ignition... its a rather big headache... had a few people tell me they had one... and it seems to fall threw everytime. Anywho... heres my new toy. Ive been searching the forums for a good place to start and what to look for and so on. Feel free to leave me tips
Battery died, ill try to get a few motor shots in a few hours.

Why do you need a new ignition? If it just due to the lack of a key, take a door lock out, and have a locksmith cut a key. Unless they have been changed, the door and ignition use the same key.
Nice find though. Since it was in a garage, it shouldn't suffer from many of the problems normally found on cars that have been left sitting that long.

The problem isnt that im missing the key, it appears that someone tried using a screw driver to start the car... the tumblers are all messed up from what i can see.
and yes i got it Toxic_d, i was meaning to PM you back. Thanks
