shes not running yet. I had issues with the efi computer and have to send it back to the dealer for repairs. Since the car is in IL and I’m working in AK I only get to play with her about two weeks a year. But she is really close to running. Get the computer back and she should be running. But that won’t happen till the next trip.

Definitely best of luck in getting the car back up and running! ! Sucks to be away from a project for that amount of time.

That engine looks like it could be a daily driver, and kick as on the dragstrip, and kick ass autocrossing, and kick ass in a car show.

At car shows , it is mostly undrivable garage queens that have engines that don't even run. I hate that!!!

in the future I’m gonna get the aluminum door cards I saw someone selling a time back. I’m just keeping weight way down. Interior is completely stripped minus the dash and center console. There’s no ac/heat. She’s just all go.

Even the sound deadening mat have been removed from the floors. Straight tin can with an engine and brakes!!!

LOL ! ears ringing just looking at her. Straight-cut driver for sure. Pop in the earplugs and enjoy!
