Well .. it's actually kind of a clean-up. I want to just drive the damn thing!!

It's basically bog stock; 304V8, TF-auto (column shift .. racey!)

As purchased:

As mucked about with:

As initially "painted":

As "good enough":

It was going to be light-blue with orange stripes (ah la Gulf Racing), but my bodywork/painting skills still need improvement(!?), so it will remain flat black for awhile.

I'm still waiting for the rear spoiler and some other parts, and for VASS/RWC (see post in General section)

Rod.
