Posted in 94-95 because everyone I know is in here
Well after alotta long nights, long wait for paint, and trackin all the lil bugs down the coupe is back on the road and doin well! Its a 89' that I've had for a few years but was white (ruff body/paint) and had its better days motor wise (bone stock)
I pulled everythin out to have a good color change done and replaced all moldings/trim/weatherstrip/windshield/quarter windows and other small details. Overall I am happy with the paint but like anyone I have found a few imperfections (not a show car though so **** it) The color is a titanium that the wife picked out but we went with the darker primer to give it some depth.
The motor is a fresh 306 that I built she has a lil over 3k on her now and is runnin like a lil champ! The bottom end has probe forged pistions (9.1), I-beam rods, stock crank, and the obvious new rings/bearings. TFS TW 2.02 heads, TFS Street Int, TFS Stg 1 cam, shorties, 70mm TB, 75mm MAF, 24lb injs, and 3.73s. Overall it may not seem like it but this was a mega budget build and you prob wouldnt belive me if I told you what I have in this motor...I looked/pieced together for 4mo on this motor and people give **** away sometimes!! I built this lil car very mild for my wifes daily driver and 9.1 c/r so I can run the lowest octane I can.
Suspension I did tokico struts/shocks and 1" tokico lowering springs.
This car is by no means FAST but serves its purpose for exactly what I built it for..runs good/relieable/looks good/255 miles per tank on 87

Looks bad ass Chris! Not a big fan of the wheels, it'd look killer with a set of 15x3.5" weld pro stars in the front and 15x8's out back with MT drag radials

Thx everyone
No thx on the Big/littles or DRs 8k miles then time for new ones
This car wont ever look like a drag car, just a clean lil driver unlike 99% of the notches out there.
I have Welds anyways if I get bored I can throw them or my 18" Saleens wheels on this car...gotta luv 5 lug

Maybe some new wheels eventually as I agree the Rs are played-out, but they look fine imop
