History
Had her for 2 years and got her running, stopping, licensed and tagged. Working on repairing some rust, such as in the rear deck and driver side hood hinge area. After many years and other distractions, I'm putting her back together. She runs and drives forward and backward. Microsquirt system on LS2 coils for a distributorless ignition is causing me some headaches making sure I have the timing correct. I have all major body part back on but need to install windows and interior.
This was the car before doing bodywork. The engine was working, but the fuel rail was leaking. So I had to get busy.
Wanting to put it back together..
