Pics of my '79!

I already posted pics but since it's winter time I wanna know your comments and tell me what I should do with the car And some of you didn't see the pics probably!







Everything(performance wise) is stock. But when I will get it back after winter I will switch to mechanical secondaries, homemade Cold Air Intake, K&N Air Filter, and I will play with the timing a little bit

Thanks for the replies!
Nick

Good lookin' car, dude! I'm planning on doing something similar to that speaker system in my car. Though maybe not that extensive. Bet that sounds great!

when I put in a header do I need to take off the heat exchanger? or I can leave it there? because I know it takes some HP but not much so if I can leave it there I would.. if I would put a RB Header, keep the heat exchanger(cuz I don't wanna feel dizzy after a while) and get my self a custom exhaust do you guys think my exhaust will be too loud? and people are talking about a ACV and air pump can I leave those on too? should I?


and you say it cost you 230$ CDN shipped to Canada? not so bad...

I put those on because the seats I had were ruined so for 30$ I got them... plus it gives my car a ''racing'' look and it must add a good 10HP! naw seriously i think they don't look so bad so instead of having the old seat covers I put those on

10HP... i don't think so, 15hp is more appropriate

They look lots better than ripped up seats. Those ones look like they could use a bit of bolstering though.

ps. the pics arent showing up anymore??
