Just bumping this thread with some updates.
In March of 2021 I got the gas tank back in the car with some new gas and it started right up.
My mom (where car was stored) ended up moving to a new place so I had to put the car in storage. It's been sitting there for about a year but I've made some good progress over the past month.
- Not sure if I mentioned before but a long time ago I slammed the car and the coils were so low I couldn't even fit a jack under it. Car was almost undriveable with the suspension. Finally got the coils lifted back up, I might still drop the rear a tad.
- I got new tires, a long time ago I thought it was cool to stretch tires. I got a pair of 275 Nitto's for the rear and found a local guy who had a pair of almost new 245's for a steal, which I put on the front.
- I had the stock sway bar sitting in the trunk so figured I'd get new mounts and throw it back on this weekend
- Also gave it's first car wash in almost 10 yrs
- Got an MGW shifter which might go on tomorrow
- Can't decide if I should go with the Saleen front lip (already had one and sold it) or if I should go with a GT front bumper with cobra insert. I am leaning towards GT bumper but I have had difficulty finding one.
Here is an Idle video, has a surge I need to work out, going to check vacuum leaks soon, I think I know where I have a couple
