Default She's Alive Again!

It's been a long long time but she's finally running again.



Anyone wanna help me bleed the clutch and brakes! Still have to hook the driveshaft up and the torque arm.

I had big plans. So when the body but 100k I sold the motor to a friend to put in his 3rd Gen. Then after several years and moving a bunch I finally ended up here in Houston and a means to fix it back up.

No plans right now besides finishing it to drive.
