Hey gang,
Been away for several month with work, life and putting back together the 90 convert. Long story short, after 9 months of being at the "buddy's" shop where it sat, was damaged, hacked on, and lies after lies. I finally towed her home in September. I've spent the last months fixing the body and mechanical damage caused by this ******* and also needed the car retuned. ( he stole the chip and had the base timing at 30BTC) I got the panel and hood gaps as best as I can- I am no body man by a long strecth.
These are the items I had to fix and/or installed- mind you all that was needed was to replace the cowl area due to the hood coming up
After 5 months got her done and took her out today for a drive
Glad to be back and hope everyone is well and your projects moving along
Bear with me as I share some pics .
