good buy
right side quarter and door had been repainted but the rest cleaned up well. the pics are a little over contrasted but the overall paint looks amazing for its age.


Spent some more time on her this week. I flushed the PS system (no more weird groaning while turning), seafoamed, and changed the oil. The oil filter was soo loose that I could take it off with the flick of my pinky. After the oil change I didnt notice anymore drops in the garage! I guess the leak blew back towards the the tranny area so I assumed with was a leaky rear main.

I did the BFI mod which seemed like it gave her quite a few ponies from teh butt dyno. And it sounds amazing too!

I got rid of the nasty 18'' wheels and replaced them with some G35 19's. Now I just need to get some suspension since my front struts are shot and i look like a 4x4 with the 19's. ill post some pics once the weather clears up!
