    There was an amp but Wade removed it along with other aftermarket items like the alarm and radio. He can comment on the bloody knuckles and aggravation.

    Are you familiar with my car Tommy?

    The wet area is from the rear dizzy seal leaking badly oil gets slung every where in that general area suspension is good may make a few minor adjustments but no real issues

    After a very long laundry list of services, repairs, refinishes, and de-modifications, the beautiful 55057 is done.

    Complete major service- belts, tensioners, gaskets, seals, o-rings, filters, fluids, hoses , bearings, degreased and cleaned engine and engine bay , and more
    Gear box - inspection and repairs- shift shaft seals, shift fork alignment, rocker arm and control rod repair.

    Upgraded fuel line - replaced all old and dry rotted fuel lines to the amazing Dave Helms kit, what a great product.

    Wheels - restored wheels to factory finish

    Refinishing - strip and restore Intake plenum, strip and refinish cam covers and timing belt covers. using a very durable powder coat wrinkle red the plenum will look amazing for years.

    A/C repair and upgrade - complete a/c system repair including new compressor, expansion valve, dryer, low pressure switch, and hoses (full length) modified to R134a the correct and complete way.

    TUNING - partial CIS fuel distributor rebuild, and WUR rebuild, throttle body rebuild, all injectors cleaned and pressure tested, complete EVAP system evaluation using Snapon Evaporative Emissions tester (aka Smoke Machine) replaced any worn vacuum lines and tuned to exact factory spec using 5 gas analyzer. 55057 is tuned and dialed in .

    Performed a number of electrical repairs including removing stereo, amp, and alarm system, rebuild head light switch stalk, added electrical accelerators to window motors, removed non working lamba system and repaired wire harness where previous splices were done.

    and lots of other small repairs to assure 55057 is on the road for a very long time.

    The mechanical side of 55057 is just as Enzo wanted it.
