  Spent most of last weekend cleaning and making room for the dozens of boxes of parts. Had to build some more shelves, lol.
  Will try and get some pics of the car and post them.
Getting excited to start moving forward with the project, however unorthodox it may be.

  Will be back in the garage this weekend, and will snap some pics.

 The doors and fenders will be repaired without having to get into repainting; a few dents and dings that i'm confident I can repair without having to repaint. But you are right, it is what it is, and should I decide to sell, I'm sure a running driving car will be much easier to sell than a bare shell with boxes of parts. lol.
  But for now, I want to drive the wheels off of it. Who knows, maybe even go to a few shows.

 Have been slowly picking away at my KR as time permits. I have recently decided to go in a totally different direction.
    The car was crashed and rolled in around 1971, and so had only 21,000 original miles and was still wearing all of it's original black paint except for the roof and right quarter panel. Both were replaced sometime in the '70's/ '80's with a rust free roof skin and a factory Ford quarter panel. Some of the fiberglass was broken beyond repair and the doors and fenders suffered some slight damage. Other than a small hole in the trunk floor and a little rot under the battery box, the car is honestly rust free. Someone also decided to take the 4 speed out through the top, and carved a giant hole in the trans tunnel. I have since repaired that with a patch from a donor tunnel.
  Looking at the car I have decided to do some repairs and repaint what is necessary, buffing and preserving as much of the original paint as possible. I'm now planning to put the car back together and drive it.
I am in no way going to try and claim it to be a survivor or low mileage original. I just want to drive it for a couple of years and enjoy it, then make a decision as to the future of KR 04052.
