Hi! I'm new to this. I have a 1973 Mach 1. My father who passed away left it to me. He took it to have it restored a long time ago and basically got ripped off. The people who were doing it stripped it and took my father for over 10,000 dollars. It took us 2 years to get the car back. Now its basically just a shell. I want to fully restore it. I know my father would have wanted me to do it. I just don't know where to start. I cant afford to do it all at once so i was gonna try to do a little at a time. Any suggestions on where to start or where i could find parts at reasonable prices. I have found a gas tank for it. I need the fold down back seat, trap door to trunk and vinyl top. I have a list of parts my father had written down that are missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached via email. tech_gurl @ hotmail.com
I will post picture from before my father had it taken to garage for restoration and after pictures of when we finally got it back 2 years later.
List of parts I need:
Gas tank, vinyl top, rear view mirror, side emblems, side strips, radio, padded dash, hood, ram air, front grill with emblem, lights front and back, cowl vent, wipers, fan belt, alternator, battery, shifter handle, bolts for everything, all hoses missing, inner fender mud guards, exhaust complete hanger clamps, front seats, back fold down seat, windshield, carpet, gauges in dash, door handles, inner door panels, all rubber seals for trunk, windows, radiator, rear bumper, trap door for trunk, metal pieces on floor and under door to hold down carpet, mat for trunk, spare tire and air tank, headliner and insulation, 2 beauty rings for wheels, gas line and hose, line from pump to carburetor and pump to metal gas line, and driver front fender.
