I told you i had a suprise .. well....

Here it is!




It has its flaws, below is a pic of the worst spot on the car.. amazingly tho the front fenders are mint.. underneath is also very clean and only has a small amount of surface rust

well anyhow thats my new toy ... i put a new clutch in it but guess what ... it had a bad pressure plate .. (never use supplied parts) .... but other than that i had to put a freezeplug in the block and its been a beaut ever since... so whatcha think?? i paid 1000.. and btw thers 130k on the clock

Nice find!

The only thing I dislike about it is that massive tach. People do that to fox stangs and I think its the "tachiest" (GET IT? :)) thing ever. It just doesn't look right...but otherwise, good job!
