I got the lim,uim,tb, and turbo back on today. I am still waiting for my rear calipers. That is the only thing stopping me from putting her back on the road=(

Well. I finally got my rear calipers yesterday. My rims are another story though. I heard today that it might be the beginning of March before they get here. I am also building a new catback while I have it in the air. Pics of it will come this weekend. I am probably going to relocate the battery to the rear bin on Friday.
Damn dude, beautiful car. I hope to clean mine up some more once I get her running again.
Edit: I don't know about anyone else, but all your pics on the first page show up as broken links for me.

Well, myself and fcsteve bled the brakes today and set hre back on the ground!! She drives great! I am very pleased with my choices as far as components. The only thing that I have any dislike with are the solid rear differential mounts due to the extra noise that is produced. It actually rides at about the same height as it did with 20 year old springs and struts/shocks. There is a greatly improved road feel and lateras feedback from the suspension now though. I am still waiying for my rims to come in so she is riding the old sawblades for right now=( Here she is after a bath today!

Rims have changed!
I was going to have to wait until April to get the fnolr-c's so I decided to go with Enkei RPF1'S in silver finish. They will be the same size and offsets. I am tired of waiting.
damn bro, that is clean. I wish i would started on the subframe and undercarrige along time ago. It's getting too close to finished for me to start now. Maybe she can get that for her 21st b-day! LOL
My Brother came and got those old shocks from ya. They were in about the same shape as his, so not worth the swap. But we are using them as a template for building my Koni shocks! check it out when you get a chance,

I ordered my fno1rc's a month ago and was supposed to have them in 14-16 days and now they tell me that it would be 4-2-07 before I could get them. I was very pissed about it and also had to deal with poor customer service for a month. They do not even sell the Enkei RPF1'S , but they ordered them for me for the same price as the fno1rc's so I am happy now.
My old shocks were not leaking like his were though. They have 20 years and 96k of use on them, but what do you want for free? He was cool and has a clean ride. I can't wait to see yours hit the road! We will have to meet up sometime soon. Just let me know when you are free.
