Nope motor wasnt out, that will be this winter with a tube k frame and the rest of the driveline

Yup i bought those from blackbird, thanks again they are really beautiful. Im gonna put a set of audi xenon fog lights in it as well.

Here are some other random pics, im gonna grab pics of the headliner/visors, and trunk tonite.

I rebuilt all latches in the cars, and the ttops so everything opens, shuts, and locks smoothly, i also cleaned up the wiring


The finish Under the hood was just as bad as the top, , everything was smoothed




Even though you wont see 80% of this it was all cleaned and por 15ed, you can also see my powdercoated black bolts


I also redid the factory undercoating on the quarter panels so it had a fresh textured look

Well shes a keeper, and i did save my formula bumpers, so if i ever really wanted to put the car back to a formula and paint it red again, i could, im not really worried about how rare the car is since i plan on keeping it anyway
Great answer! Great car dude! Come do mine
