It's been awhile...
I drove her for the 1st time in about 7 months. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Replacing all the steering components with new stuff, shocks and struts, new calipers, rotors and brakes, John's shaft (ewww), sphon wonderbar as well adj. panhard (still needs some adj.) eibach springs (sits nice and low, nice and snug, gotta take the isolators out the back so it sits right), energy suspension bushing kit (had to buy the swap bar one seprately, thank god autozone started selling them). Even though i haven't put any power mods on, it definitely feels like it's getting more power to the ground. It felt so nice and snug on the road, very flush indeed. Gonna take it this weekend to the goodyear shop so i can get an alignment, it really needs it. It felt good!!!! Now i know how people feel when they smoke a cig after a several years.!!!!

Re: It's been awhile...
gj, i know that feeling, i did almost all my suspension mods (all except torque arm) before i swapped out the engine, suspension alone makes a world of difference, congrats on gettin her back on the road!

Re: It's been awhile...
Yeah, it was a bitch getting all the old stuff off. We had to cut several things because of years of corrison. Can't wait until i get the sub-frames on, just gotta find some one to weld them on for me. Those mods made a world of difference.

Re: It's been awhile...
All hell... guess I'm gonna have to look around. My pops knows a couple of people who were cool with my grandpa, so I'll try them out 1st. I'm definitely gonna have to get the floor board replace behind the driver side for sure. I did an underbody inspection while it was up in the air, and the floor board is soft and weak, has a little gun shot hole in it (damn u rust!!!). That's the only rusted area on the damn car. Pissed me off majorly.

Re: It's been awhile...
Good thing replacement body parts are not that expensive, just expensive to get some one to put them on for you. I'll fix it soon. Just painted the whole underbody, wish i had some POR15. It should last until i get in cahoots with some people at WyoTech. Good grades = Free shit and labor!!! The cancer is not that bad yet, hopefully i can get rid of it in time.

Re: It's been awhile...
I'm really giving up hope and looking into a rolling chassis. I'd love to get my hands on a t-top car anyway. Maybe red, meh there goes the mid life crisis into gear

Re: It's been awhile...
I love the t-tops!!! Especially when it's nice and warm outside. Really great. The hum of the exhaust is phnominial (sp?)!!!! But you gotta hate the leaks though.

Re: It's been awhile...
Congrats man, I know that feeling as well. Infact its probably going to be a few months til I get to drive the formula again.the rear wheels right now are sitting in old wheels waiting for the body to get hoisted over the engine and tranny.
