The '79 hasn't seen the light of day in over a decade (since it got "hurt" during transport in a previous sale). It's going to serve as a parts car, and (unfortunately) due to space constraints, is going to have to live outside, as the pole barn is big, but there are other vehicles & equipment which live there.
Once I've gone through the systems on the '77, and have her to a point where she's safely running & driving, I'll likely pull the motor from the '79 and build it. If the odometer is to be believed, there's only 15K on this one, so (in theory) the motor should be reasonably fresh, if a decade of sitting hasn't harmed it...
I took advantage of some unseasonably mild weather yesterday to begin removing bits that aren't likely to weather well (as it doesn't "seal" very well since the damage, and there's no point letting it go to seed. Here's the starting point:
After a day, most of the interior bits are in storage in the loft, carpeting & underlayment is out (and spent). The dashboard still needs to come out, so I have some research to do around here to see how it's attached. It's raining today, so even though I can't wrench, I can do my homework...
Made a fair amount of progress - and anything that I can pull now is something that I may find a use for later (or be able to help someone else out w/ parts, etc...), and at least wont get killed by weather (tarping it up is only going to do so much).
