Hi,It was also my goal when i purchased the car in '94 ... Just repair brakes and steering then drive it some times..My goal initially was to get it drivable (SAFELY) and then work on the pieces of the puzzle that require attention But, but ... steering was shot, front suspension also, brakes were out .. so i began to remove some parts, then others, then others .. The story is here http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f/57moi_us.htm I drove it ... seven years after the purchase !!! It wasn't easy, i have some moments of discouragment, of missing money, of joy also .. Itsn't a "concours restoration", but i'm happy to have save such a car and also to have found a lot of helpful friends here. Why the web has really begun popular in 1997 or 1998 ? Remember, itsn't a F**d, a ch**y, she is an IMPERIAL !! --
