Awesome!

Looks like a good and solid car.

Post up some more pics when you get a chance.

Start spreading the word about your plans so you can bring in some guys to race against!

So.. I got my car!! It arrived today and everything looks good. Except the suspension is embarrassingly squeaky! Is this normal or are the some bushings that need grease?


Mine does that too. I installed polygraphite bushings in rear torsion bar carrier assembly. I last checked them in January 2003 and you cannot grease them without disassebly and that is long process. Anyway the car runs fine and the squeeking is only annoying when going slow. Drive faster and you won't hear it anymore.

And I am thinking I'll need a cooling fan. Maybe I'll just add one fan and put a manual switch in the cockpit.

yes you need new headers. You will need the 1-4 pipe, 2-3 pipe which a commonly considered the headers and you will need the cat pipe which bring the 2 pipes into 1. You don't need the cat however.

Here are the stock 1-4 and 2-3 pipes in tube steel from although some are iron castings of a similar configuration.



In this picture on lower left you can see the stock cat pipe without a cat. The two ends attach to the stock flanges on the two header pipes.
