more good news car has all new lines under it, gas tank with all new guts, sending unit , fuel pump, strainer and the pusater valve, borla cat back, spohn lower control arms, and a big thanks to greenformula92 with the modivation and help in moving it along,

mike took some today so they will be up soon,
got the rear in, forgot about the heat shields, put them back in, shocks in, old rear sway bar off new one out and under car ready to go in tomorrow, driveshaft in, spohn torque arm in, need to adjust the adjustible pan hard bar, need to bring the rear 1/2 inch to the left, have 10 inch wide rims on the back want to center them,

still need to but a poly trans mount, as well as the new pads and rotors, also going to get all new flexable brake lines, and new lines for the rear axle,

get that stuff done, send car out to get aligned, then we will go to the bodyshop for the minor opps work and both set of subframes in, then bring over to the muffler shop to weld up the exhaust all i need is a seat and seatbelts to drive it,

next thing to tackle is under the hood goodies, still need to find a set of headers would like to due before i go to have the exhaust welded,

It has a adjustable panhard rod that hasnt been adjusted yet. It needs to go about a 1/2 inch - 1 inch to the drivers side

thanks guys, its been a long time comming
had most of the parts and the wheels long before i found the car
traded parts i did not need for some parts i wanted as well
as far as the wheels go need a magic # in order to sell them,

just ordered, stainless rear axle brake lines, cross drilled and slotted rotors, and brake pads, stainless braided brake hoses,

thinking about custom dyno don headers with 3 inch y-pipe, but not going to use the borla cat back i have going to do something different
