Hello everyone.
I got my first Mopar back in 1993, a -77 Aspen SE. It had the bullit proof slant six and was a beauty with metallic green paint and a white vinyl top. Unfortunately the rust worms got to its rear fenders. A year later I hit a moose crossing the road and the Dodge ended up in the ditch with some body damage...
I also at the time had a stripped down original V8 Aspen my brother bought as a part car for his wagon. My thought was taking body parts from that one to fix my beat up green beauty. After some consideration I changed my mind and decided i'd rather fix the parts car, being a V8 car and actually free from rust. I got a 318/904 from the boneyard, sanded the car down and painted it myself in my fathers garage.
In 1999, with a child on it's way, the Dodge got placed in a barn for storage, me thinking it wasn't worth anything so i didn't bother listing it for sale.
Three years ago I brought it home from the barn and gave it some love. It needed new brakes, some exhaust parts and a new gas tank to get back on the road again. After that the snowball kind of rolled on, the old Dodge getting a lot of new parts. Last summer I rebuildt the transmission and did a Magnumswap. This summer i'm gonna rebuild the front end with new BJ's, rubber busings all around and poly K-member pucks and T-bar bushings.
I've learned a lot from this forum. Today I decided to register as a member of the F/M/J community.
Sorry about my shabby english. I hope the good folks in here understand what I mean.
