This thing's coming together nicely! Awesome color!! I for one think the current color's a lot nicer then Agave green, I've never been a fan of dark green's. I forgot what shade green you said the car currently is but it looks awesome on a 2002.

Thanks guys, I like to post things on instagram of these cars, sprinkled in with a little of my personal life for your viewing pleasures. @ryandanco

It's a really unique car. Interiors are ready to be installed buy I'm making a quick trip up to Northern California for the weekend, so it must wait until next week. This car is a hoot to drive with the single barrel solex carb (which I blew up on the way to the vintage). I am rebuilding it now.

The ground control suspension made the car handle much better, but the car still needs swaybars, which I have. I'm picking up a 40% 3.64LSD this weekend that should make the 5-speed plan much more streetable. I'm getting this thing ready for turbo. That's the end game. Turbo power.

I have no control over my body or life but it's ok.

I feel you. I'll be sliding in your DMs soon. Be prepared.

THank you Fercy

Mine or Scabz? What about a picture of both?








Got the interiors in last night. Some things aren't quite right but Abdu is working to make them right. He's been great throughout the whole process, for as long as it has been.







The front or rear cards don't have the provisions for the plastic pieces that the mylar tape adheres to. So I will have to figure something out on those. But they look good otherwise. A little wavy but I think that adds character.








I'll get better photos tomorrow once I complete the preliminary installation.

She will ride again soon.

[e30lyf]

are you keeping that steelies for a while?

[phreshkid]

are you keeping that steelies for a while?

I probably will. I might redo a second set with different specs.






Newer photos from today. I got most of the interior in. There are things I need to add (like the rear door card's elbow rest thing). The front and rear cards don't have provisions for mylar tape and that doesn't bug me so much yet. But I do have to remedy this for the Florida car. That car has to be right. This car is already strange so I like it as-is.












Now I just need to play with the rear GC suspension and get the rebuilt carb on and I'm back in business.
