All that work, time, and money for the rear end, and yet it still has the stock suspension?

That's only about 60-70 miles from me. If anyone wants me to check it out for them before they bid, I would be happy to. :rollin:

meh, i know plenty of guys who drive their weekend cars with manual steering, brakes, and a spool. one of which is a high 9sec 75 camaro on pump gas. weighs more than my TC and drives it every weekend in the summer.

Manual racks prolly fine with that light front end and skinniest.

The only time a manual rack sucks is in low speed turns, ie parallel parking.  My old 89 GT had a poor man's manual rack (recirc the lines).

I just don't see a problem ...
And I dont see the problem with putting a chevy engine in a ford ... Just brand-British cigarettes who hates it ...

I like that car but ofcourse some things I would change!

thats just ugly. maybe its the yellow. or maybe its that retarded bird catcher that has no purpose. as i was looking at the pictures theres only one that i thought.. not bad.  the rims. love that style of rim, but he can keep them, and the car, and burn it to the ground. i know i know dont kill a bird.  but that  killed that car already. burn it to the gorund after taking the tailights off.

A true manual rack will be easier to turn than that ;)
