Thanks guys!


I worked on the car little today. Worked on the driverside 1 pc window man talk about a mess I got it to work better than than it was, but I'm going to order a new kit later on and put the correct regulators on the car. They still use to late model ones on the windows. :shock: Also put the deck lid on and added the quick release pins to take on the deck lid.

Last night I put the motor in and today I put on the ceramic headers. I've got to run down in the morning to pick up some stainless nuts and bolts to mount the ceramic muffler up. Next thing to do to the motor is wires, plugs, dist. cap and misc stuff and that is done. I've replace a lot of parts one this car for something that just needed to put a motor in and start driving it..... LOL!!!

Also I've got a new lowered sway-bar w/ S.S clamps getting shipped tomorrow and then I can put that and my new KYB lowered Gas-A-Just shocks put on. I think after this weekend I'm going to stop working on it until I get a job (still can't find a job :help: ) . So its going to stay under the car cover for a while. :roll:

That exhaust looks sweet! Hope that you don't have to wait too long before you can hit the streets with it.

I hear ya. I've got an interview tomorrow morning at XL Parts at 290/BW8, so I'm hoping I get it. I've been out of work since March and I'm going crazy.
