      Started on the suspension today. I was pretty happy to get in the garage since ive been deployed for 4 months and the only thing that got done before that was pulling the rusted out block. I completed the front coilover conversion and should throw the rears in tomorrow. Disregard any signs of shitty welding, first time

          I am so happy for you and yet so angry I don't own one. MUST BE CONTENT!

          I will live through you till I can own one!!!!!

          .....those are some special welds you have there. Please make sure they will hold, the spring will be hammering on those.

            Yeah, the welds are atrocious but I had a pro check it out and said it was solid... just really really ugly

                            And it had daul side draft webers on it
                            Car was stolen and never found .....

                              yep auto hobby shop, they were talking about closing it down but looks like it wont happen, considering how little there is to do in this part of NM in the first place it would just be one more thing to ruin morale. tommorow I should be mounting the rear coilovers which will take much less time and then throw the turbines on, next project is to rebuild the rest of the suspension and brakes and after that fix this problem:


                              I have the m30b35 and 5 speed, but still finding solutions for some of my problems converting it to manual. I still need to find a new pedal assembly and shift assembly, and plan on buying the flywheel and clutch kit in the next week or 2

                                a little history one the car: I bought it back in november, it had been sitting 4 years and the engine was missing the head, so all that was left was a rusted out block. The only thing thats good about the car was the shell, Clovis NM has to be good for something and its preserving classics like this. I picked this car up for $300 so sadly enough I paid more for the koni adjustable shocks in the front then I did for the entire car. My plans right now is to have it be a reliable/safe driver by november
