Well I've had this car (my 7th teener, I think) for about eleven years ago. It was my daily driver for a couple of years. Then I made it into a track car. I had wanted to do a six conversion, but bought a house instead. Then I joined up with you guys and my car didn't run again until today. I'm just finishing my rebuild with a 2.5 liter twin plug six.
I just took it out for a ride and Holy S... what a great machine. It was worth the time and $. I just wish our A/X Sunday hadn't been cancelled. Now it needs to back to the body shop for a couple of minor things, then I can put the graphics on and look in the rearview mirror at my competition. T.C. Attached image(s) |
