OK -
I did receive some additional photos in the mail from the body shop that last painted the car in 2003. They do insurance work and it is their practice to take "before" and "after" photos. I was grateful that one of their photos showed the original RG overspray on the pass door panel. It shocked me at first because that was the door that was damaged in the 1984 accident, but then I considered the fact that anyone talented and persistent enough to replace a cowl section could easily straighten and re-skin a door! The pic is grainy because it is a scan of a 2x4 inch picture printed on regular paper. The body man assures me that the RG shows up bright on his computer and he will email me the file.
Also, I spoke to the body shop owner today and he suggested "why don't you speak to Dave XXXXXX, he owned your car for quite a while and knows everything about it". The manager was even nice enough to give Dave a call and let him know that I would be contacting him. Well, long story short, Dave did the resto of the car back in 1994 (his wife insisted that he paint it red) and volunteered the information that he personally (in his garage) stripped the original rally green paint from the car (doors back). He also gave me the details that the rpevious owner gave him about repairing the car in about 1985.
Finally, I have spoken to the local Lancaster car guys about locating the engine, trans, and rear. They've been around here a long time - if the parts are riding around in the Lancaster area - they will find them.
That's all I have for now.
