Well I've had it almost 3 months now and its sat for over 2 months getting all the little dings and dents out.Alittle info,original TENN. car with NO RUST...which is what i wanted.I payed to much IMO but it ran and drove.Originally a 93 4cyl car conversion.5.0 carbed,5 spd,8.8 with 4.10's.BBK long tube,bbk x-pipe.Needs alot of tlc but I've got nothing but time.:D
This weekend pulled the doors off to repair a reneck repair on the lower hinge pins.Someone just welded around the pin.Got those fixed and ready to blow in the factory color paint...Calypso green....:bigthumb.
heres a few pics .
p.s runs fairly strong,shifts like butter,and doesnt rattle abit.original 78k car.
