Goin g to hit a few car shows, and a mountain drive or two with my beloved. 12 years ago I bought this car for $1000.00. It sat under a magnolia tree for 8 or 9 years and was covered in bird crap and black mold. The brakes and clutch were seized and the interior was dried out. Dash was cracked from the sun. This is how it looked after a couple of days of cleaning. Had to spray it with a 50/50 mix of water and bleach to kill the mold and then pressure wash it. Fast forward to yesterday. Lots of time and money spent, complete refresh, mechanical and cosmetic, and some coin spent on engine upgrades, and this is how she looks. Oh, and 313hp to the wheels in a 3300lb car feels pretty snappy too....... To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth. Promoted to Turdlike status 03/17/12

Quite a few “improvements” made including a stand alone Megasquirt MS3 Pro engine management system. To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.

Then keep working and drive this one to death in your spare time. GOOD looking car. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.
