and now the problem areas.. THIS is why you DO NOT drive these cars in the winter, if you want it to live a long, happy life..







and interior pics.. i'll be re-dying the seats once i get another decent day in the 60's.. dash pad doesn't look bad, only 1 crack.. so i may pop it out on a warm day, smear some vasoline on it and let it sit in the sun, so it doesn't crack more before i get around to replacing it

OOPS.. did i do that? lmao




and i can see why it's spitting the followers, they're worn.. i'm just going to replace them for now, then upgrade to roller once i get the shop going and have some sort of income, instead of draining my bank account and leave myself with nothing lol

ew.. a quick swipe of the upper and this is what i got.. so i scrubbed the ever living hell out of it with a toothbrush and cleanser.. she's near spotless now, so i'll pull the lower off and clean it tomorrow, then clean the head out really good with some throttle body cleaner

i said the hell with pulling the lower intake off for now, since i'll have the upper off for a while, so i can polish it.. instead, i decided to start on my fresh air intake.. i need to order couplers, so for now i just cut up what was left of my stock rubber intake tube.. i'll order all my couplers once i get ready to start on my FMIC plumbing, which will probably be next week

may not be a rod knock, i don't know yet.. here's a short video.. i have to do some investigating.. i know it's not a follower, i just put it back together after putting 1 back on.. they only spit out at load, over 4k.. the car hasn't been moved since i finished putting it back together.. my phone makes it sound a lot worse than it really is, i guess it's the py audio quality

anyone know if you can lift the motor high enough to sneak the pan out between the block and k-member, without disconnecting the trans?

that does sound like it. and no you cant. you can lift it high enough to do the cam. but lower end its easier to pull it.. its not bad, done it a few hundred times.

i'm hoping it's the followers, it does have that 'loose rocker type sound' and it seems to be echoing inside the valve cover.. the odd part is, i didn't notice it until i clipped my exhaust off, so that's what i thought it was, since the DP is still intact from the hot side, to the cat, but i climbed under the car and tried shaking it around, no dice

oh.. and here's the ghetto fabulous exhaust i cut off.. well.. i only had to cut the passenger side tailpipe off the back side of the mullfer.. the rest of it pulled right out, all the welds were broken.. it's the worst exhaust hack i've ever seen

aaaah.. today was a good day.. goodbye disgusting TC header with no grill, hellooooo shag appeal of a 4 eyed bird.. goodbye snowflakes as well.. found cobra r's for a steal of a price, so i sold the snowflakes, put the car on blocks and now she awaits her 5 lug stuff.. i have the front rotors, i just need to take them to the machine shop to get the snout milled down a bit.. i'll do that once the wheels are here and i can measure them.. they're white 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears, so they should give the car a mean stance and the white will match the current paint pretty well.. i'll probably powdercoat them silver when i paint the car

last shot in stock form..



and 2 of the cobra r's




and now she's a 4 eyed bird, thanks to brian (BJL) and i'll have a grill on the way soon, courtesy of David (MY83T).. without these 2 guys, i'd be left scowering the junkyards hopelessly trying to find a bumper, header and grill that doesn't look like someone round-house kicked it.. still need a couple things to finish it off, but the biggest headaches are covered.. thanks guys
