Hello everyone, I have had my e body for about a year and a half now. It is a 1974 Challenger with a 318 2-BBL that was bought by my aunt new from the dealership. When she went to get rid of it in the 80's, my dad purchased the car and continued to keep it in the family. Unfortunately, he had to park the car when he started a family about 20 years ago and it hadn't rolled from its resting place until he finally agreed to give it to me if agreed to fix it and that is what I have been doing for the last 1 1/2 years. About a year into working on it, I was able to get it running and driving again but it quickly blew a freeze plug between the engine and transmission and had to put the car on hold because I didn't have the time to fix it because I just started my Bachelors degree. When I finally found time to work on it again I found this site when looking for freeze plugs.
I actually got very lucky with the condition of it. There is a fair amount of surface rust but it is extremely straight and no rust in the floors or rocker panels. trunk is thin and needs to be replaced but has not rusted through yet. It is going to be a long journey but I am definitely up for it. The picture is from the day I towed it home.
All recommendations/ tips welcome.
