80's , you may also want to do some steam cleaning after the seafoam.

Well update....
The lemons motor has been broken in WELLLLL, it ran both days at the lemons race without any problems to the motor, but it did kill the NA trans. It is FAST as hell.
I cleaned my garage out and put my FD back inside, time to start working on it, Got the hood, bumper, side skirts, and sleek headlights to install. THEN THEN PAINT
I picked up Keiths Repu today and it is living at my place for a little while, I will get the motor installed for him shortly.
While keith was here i saw a WTF moment, and i share it with you now.
