The last video is as it currently sits with mufflers. @70mph @2000rpm in OD it's perfect.

Once I get the panhard bar on I'll get the tail pipes put back on

ETA: the first two vids you can hear the rattling of the old flow masters which is what prompted the full exhaust change.

I have no radio, nobody rides with me, lost most of my hearing in the Army . Any noise other than the ringing in my ears is music!

I know this is going sloooooooooow and I'm super sorry about that. But I do have an update!

I contacted 209Pony on Corral for a set of his 94/95 spindles! Should be here in a week or two. Followed by:
Hubs
Rotors
Calipers
Master cylinder
Rear 5Lug stuff: which is going to remain drum brakes for now until I fix a few other smalls that are killing me at the moment!

Probably going to roll on 96 cobra wheels for a while.

Ironically I was wondering if that's why they said my car had a battery drain. I assumed it was the hatch not being closed right. I bought a new battery and always had it disconnected when they had it at their shop still. When I took out the sun visors it looked like the mirror covers were bent enough to not keep the light switch closed!

Nice score on the rear 5 lug parts!

I had same issues with mine. Lights would stay on draining the battery while it sat 1-2 weeks.

In the end I just unplugged the lights. I don't use the mirrors so the lights are not needed

Looks good! What's next? Pull motor and smooth the engine bay? Wire tuck? Supercharger? IRS swap?
