    Sorry but I think you bought some money pits. For what you would need to put into them, you could buy a nice finished car.

  12. Looks like the one I had 7 8 years ago. All that held it together was the X in the frame and the door latches. I still have the grille out of it somewhere, it's straight. I sold the car to some guys from Turkey or somewhere middle-eastern, who took just the cowl, doors, and rear body tub and left all the rest.
     
  13. Best of luck with any of those!
