    Just bought a 69' A108 from my buddy. Good runner with a little electrical short somewhere I need to track down. Giving her a interior make over and running it. Tore out all the old wood paneling and floor. Already used this forum to figure out 3 point seatbelt install! Helpful people here thanks. I will post pics as soon as I am able to.

    Rad! Thanks Scotty,
    Nick is a homie and it took some work to get him to part with it, but he knew he wasnt going to do anything with it and it was just gonna rust away. I been going to town on it. Soon I can post pics, I have questions but need visuals.
