It lives!!!

Finally got this bloody thing back together. Still runs like  when cold though. Took it around the block and it definately feels good to be in a Tbird again. Just need to bleed those brakes. :giggle: I kinda felt like it was about to cut off under boost but since it's not registered (and lack of brakes) I just stayed within the residential streets.

Anyhoos, I took this opportunity to snap some pics. Definately going to drop that ride height as soon as I get a chance. *nod*

Looks great so far. Are those wheels off a Sn-95 stang?

What do you have in the rear? Wheels sit out pretty far.
It's Gumby's fault.

Eibach 1" wheel spacers. They rubbed on the 88 because of shoddy exhaust routing on the passenger side.  I'm surprized anyone noticed to be quite honest.

 those gauges look good. Too bad they don't make the ed things for the 140MPH (or even the Canadian 200km/h) speedo. Oh well... Some day I'll finish mine...

Pardon my "shakey" hands. :D

Oh and here's a vid of the car running... you can hear the miss early on  (which is what i was trying to capture in the first place) but it goes away with perfect timing, pun intended. You also get a brief sample of my lerless exhaust.
