Well I pulled the bus into the garage last week, and began to un-do all the harm that the previous owners have done to this poor car. I put in a new trans (T-5), and a new-to-me driveshaft including new u-joints, poly trans mount, new short shifter incl. white shift knob, r/h wheel bearings, and a set of shorty headers, x pipe, flowmaster 40's and dumps. I must say, I've been waiting on this test drive since i bought the thing. WHOLE NEW RIDE! Thanks to everyone that hooked me up on parts, your the best! Now time to prep for the HCI, gears, and springs/shocks/struts. Then it'll be what I wanted for a dd!:bigthumb

Well I skipped that part, I got the front tires outta the garage, then dropped the clutch and lit em up lol. No pics, I thought about it after my cousin took it for a drive, but was too caught up in the glory of watching it lol. I'll get pics up after she's all cleaned up. Hoping to hemm it up by the weekend:bigthumb
