newbie introducing myself

I got my 69 holiday four door when I was thirteen I'm almost 23 and I have loved every minute i've had her. I lost all my pics of when she was together the back story is my mother had breast cancer for many years and decided to buy me a car when I was 13. We worked on it together and sent it to be worked on for many parts and restoration. She spent thousands on it for me however the shop owner went through hard times his ten year old son passed from m.s. and his girlfriend took all his and our money and the shop went under. I spent a year suing the landowner for my cutlass and it was in the middle of the restore. So I was out a car and roughly 7 thousand dollars. I now have a car that was mint prior to the rebuild entirely taken apart. I've been trying for years to save to build it. Again but its just a big project so I finally decided to see if she could find a new home with someone who possibly needs parts to help with their build or wants to take on the project. Its a 69 4 door Forrest green with the roll down center posts chromed out to hell I wish I still had pics of the girl when she was together but I will be posting pics of what's left of her. I do have the whole car just in piles.

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

Please clarify: You say a '69 Holiday Four-door. A '69 Holiday Four-door WHAT? Cutlass? Delta 88? 98? You also mention "center posts chromed out to hell," whatever that means. "Holiday" is a term Olds used for two and four-door cars that were hardtops and thus did not have center posts.
