Hi Brent Congratualtions. Don't forget to put the antenna down, the radio only serves to mask the beautiful tones coming from the back. Also adds drag. :-) Drive it a lot, enjoy. | ||

Thanks all for the encouragement. I paid $19,000 for the car on Ebay in December 2001. Car was listed as in excellent running condition. Bought it from Houston and had it shipped to Los Angeles without test driving the car. That was the mistake. One slightly bent valve, so I got a full top end rebuild, valve guides, valves etc. Bought new tires, brakes, new cats (just to get it through smog), A/C seals, a few new gauges, hayden fans, 4 row radiator, refinished wheels, recovered seats, new steering wheel, nick's test pipes, tubi exhaust, alpine stereo, etc.,etc., etc.... However, as things got further along I was happy that I bought it. If it wasn't for all the great information and help that I got from everyone on this website I probabley would have given up on it. THANKS ALL | ||
