I'm a yellow fan myself, just haven't been able to dig the purple/blue but each his own. This shlould be the final look minus the saleen wing and wheels. I'm liking it
Will anyone want a cheap sapphire blue shell when I'm done robbing parts?
Let me know if you need any help.I bought a new one last year but it showed up with a 1 inch long crack at the drivers side headlight area. I believe I can patch it up
I know it's an older post, but the marine intake seems to have longer runners?
Good luck sir. I look forward to pics!!!Well Monday is car hauling day, 8 hour trip. first time i will see what I bought. Fingers crossed, I hope its what I think it is
Good luck sir. I look forward to pics!!!
Where in Iowa is the yellow shell? If it happened to be around here I would gladly go check it out and look for rust and whatnot for you before you make that trip.

Congratulations man, I agree with you about the tail lights.I loaded the truck down with one shirt and the trailer yesterday and headed out to Idaho. First, it was a nice drive and Idaho was GREEN, I've never seen grass grow in fields that looks like it belongs on a manicured lawn, very nice. It was great weather there but coming back it rained the entire time.
So to the car. It is everything the seller said it was, nice paint, good suspension, perfect interior and no dents. Only thing i'll do on the body is put the cobra bumper and hood on. Now onto the swap. First thing is cleaning the engine bay and giving it some paint. I'm going to black it out with textured paint but a clean yellow engine bay would look good to. I'm thinking about a tubular K member since i'm putting in the long tubes. Other than than I really don't think any surprises will pop up, its clean including the underside. There is a few spots of rust, the worst being the shock tower area. i am going to cut out the shock towers from the purple one and eventually graft in a section but that will be for another time.
i'm swapping the taillights for the vertical style, I hate the horizontals. The rearend will be staying to until I break it.
That's it, great car and I should have it running by the end of summer.
Thank you, I need it. The Last time I bought a car unseen, the drivers side floor pan fell out as soon as I sat in the seat!
Thanks, It's in Marion. I believe it's going to be good, I have been talking back and forth with the owner. I feel good about it. If I had the blue one ripped apart and you were close to Marion, I would cart the shell to you.
Lol, I shi t you not, I live in Marion. 52302, northeast side of Cedar Rapids. Talk about small world.
