Hello there! Got my car back after 10 years!

Hello there - I'm new to the forum thanks for having me. I'm restoring my 70 cutlass convertible that I owned for nearly 20 years, sold over 10 years ago and just got back. I sold it when it was in great shape but unfortunately it came back to me in pieces - literally. I have a specific question about some parts that are missing and will post those in the correct section of the forum. I have to say that I thought about the car nearly everyday for the last 10 years and am very excited to have it back!

That is really cool.
Wish I could track down a couple of my former loves.

Welcome to the site, I second that I wish I could get back some former loves also. Post some pictures when you get a chance.

Welcome !!
Tell us a little more about your story, like how did you find it did you sell to some one you knew or just got lucky and found it?
Was it tore apart for a restoration ? Or just parted out ?

Welcome to the site. Not many people get a second chance at their car love.

Cars sold and cars stolen rarely make it back.

I look forward to seeing your progress.
