Is that a high temp powder coat, or just a textured finish that you liked?  I actually just powder coated my intake/valve covers tonight too.  I will post a pic shortly.

Full interior and everything?

Well, I would expect your car to weigh less since it's an older one, but I read that '87-88 Turbo Coupes weighed 36xx lbs and was just wondering how Turbo Coupe managed to drop 500 lbs off his car. Unless, of course, if the figures I read were high.

I had a little bit of outgassing on one spot of the intake, but I'm not too concerned with it.  Just going on my chevy anyways =)
