Hello.
I am new here and preparing to restore my 88 Vanden Plas. Blew engine in th middle of Painted Desert several years ago. Replaced engine, but it has been parked on my father's farm for several years. Just now at a point I can finsih waht I started. Love the car, but it was neglected for years before I picked it up.
Needs suspension work, paint and body, and interior replaced. Just finished rebuilding a Dodge truck and getting ready to start on Jag this weekend.
