Actually yes, it required a complete restoration. When my father and I purchased the car, the previous owner had already performed the teardown and had every single part of the car disassembled. Then, hhe previous owner got married, had kids, etc. and the car was never put back together for nearly 8 years. Then we purchased it and took it from there. Boy, what a job! Everything was there luckily, just all disassembled.

Note, this is not a fresh restoration. The car was completed back in 1998 so the restoration is nearly 10 years old now.
