^^^^^ya i have the aero pieces that go in front of the rear wheel wells, they were off of the car but inside on the floor, so idk what shape they are in. The front pieces i dont think they are there, as you can tell the front bumper paint is peeling bad so im guessing that they hit something with this at one point in time and put a different bumper on and didnt prep at all and forgot to put the front aero pieces back on.

alright not much of an update, but i figured id share an interesting pic.

this is the clutch pushrod...the system before i replaced everything was rusted solid and this was a result of trying to force it loose. I noticed something was wrong when i bled the new clutch system today that the slave would only move maybe 3/8 of an inch and my pedal wouldnt return to the topso i bled it probably 5 more times thinking it was just trapped air, well it wasnt. but i know on certain vehicles they have an adjustment on the clutch pushrod to compensate for clutch wear, so i got under the dash and there i realized what my prob was lol, put it in the vice and straightened it back out and adjusted the pushrod out some and, voila that was the fix.

just a little story i figured i would share.

Get dat aero on, stat!

black_turbo_FC

^^^haha u got it lol... i need to find a good way to mount them back up...it looks like the metal that was molded into the aero pieces just rusted away. so ive got a challenge there. Also my straight exhaust concoction needs a resonator or something because it sounds like a 14:1 d16 imo hahaha. but good news it doesnt have any exhaust leaks and it is having some trouble idling but its got older gas in it now so i need to get some fresh in it, and maybe change my fuel filter again just in case there was some left over sediment i didnt get out of the lines when i cleaned the tank and whatnot. But the brakes work good, the clutch works good and moves the car, but its not ready for its maiden voyage until it idles right. My fear came true on my stance...the front sits good but the rear sits up like 2 inches higher, kinda like a Cuda haha. well heres a few pics of it, hopefully ill be driving it tomorrow for its first time since 1999, and by the looks of the paint its first bath in 14 years as well yayuh



my exhaust actually poked out a little more once it got all tightened up and hangers welded on


just a few more updates, ill get some pics of it all cleaned up tomorrow hopefully if not soon.

love the clean ones!

^^^ hey thanks...thats exactly my goal just keep it clean...ive also decided to cut the rear springs to get it to sit the same front and rear. I also havent got to clean it up or move it out of the garage because we got about 8 inches of snow the day i planned to get it out and wash it, and ive been in the process of getting a new job. so i just decided to wait on cleaning it up, but now most of the snow is melted so if it melts off more i will have some updates hopefully before too much longer.
