Welcome to the forum.
Now come on we'd love to see more pics of her when possible.

Thanks for the comments guys, it has definitely been a labour of love. I have owned the car for 10 years, paid $1300 for it as a rolling shell in 2002. It's a 73 XA Fairmont, factory 250 toploader GS. I got serious about restoring it 4 years ago and the rest is history.

I didn't want to bombard you with pics on my first day on the forum, but ask and you shall receive.

this is the day i bought it:
