Hello friends,
I am from Sri Lanka. I have already posted a few times and thought it is better to introduce myself.
Last year, I found a discarded hearse ('87 Cruiser) that was to be sold for scrap metal but it was still there since the price for scrap metal has gone really down. ($0.15 per 1 kilogram) I bought it for $400 and brought it home, soldered wires eaten by rat and started the engine.
Rotten front seats, cracked windshield, rotten body, missing face bits and mitsubishi delica rear lights. Could not be registered for domestic use
I am going to rescue it's engine, transmission and other bits so that those can be implanted to a different car that can be registered. There are only handful (less than 15) cars with running V8 engines in the country.

With such a low quantity of Custom Cruisers where you are, it may be wise to save all the good parts you can, especially electrical items (heater/AC, power window controls etc.) sheet metal, and trim in addition to the power train items...

I took down the entire wiring harness, A/C system, engine & ancillaries, transmission, power windows and locks, electrically adjustable seats and the chassis.
All of those will go into a different car and I think it is the only way I can make the custom cruiser live longer
