Welcome aboard.
The brakes feel great now. Very firm and really what I would expect out of 11" brakes in the front and solid discs in the rear. I zip tied up the fuel lines and those are pretty...

Welcome aboard.
The brakes feel great now. Very firm and really what I would expect out of 11" brakes in the front and solid discs in the rear. I zip tied up the fuel lines and those are pretty...
You're not kidding. Fortunately, it appears to be leaking out the back of the MC. There is not much left of this car underneath, and I'll spend some extra time shoring up the fuel and brake line...
Well, I've never replaced the exhaust, but I have certainly put some miles on this car going to and from school. It has been extraordinarily reliable for me. It's due up for some problems, so I'm not...
Thanks a ton. Now to see what I can do about repairing that section. It looks pretty stock back there except for the muffler.
Well, the car has run very well up until this week. All I have to complain about is that the exhaust broke right before the trailing arm. I need to get that fixed and I should be all set. I've been...
Tonight the car started running very rough on my way out of school. I did about an hour's worth of trouble shooting and determined that the FP regulator failed internally and is now leaking fuel into...
I have had the 90 VNT airbox setup in the car for a while now. The stock airbox definitely helps to control the boost a little more. The BOV makes me feel like I'll get a million more miles out of...
Well, to update this thread, I did replace the front knuckles with later units for the R/T style 11" brakes with Hawk pads. I have new KYB struts on the front and the VNT turbo has been fairly well...
The CSX is sitting out front dripping used motor oil all over the place. I filled up a sprayer and went to town with about 1.5gal of the stuff. I sprayed it in the doors, under the car, under the...
I finished off a lot of maintenance yesterday. I replaced both rear wheel bearings, and the shocks. That was fun due to the rust. I sprayed everything very well with Fluid Film. I replaced the...
Well, the turbo was a hummer of a job. The head looked pretty rough on the deck surface, so I had that skimmed. It took some time, but I'm done now. Head studs installed with a felpro gasket. I have...
The leak was the line coming off of the prop valve to the L/F brake hose. I replaced it with a stainless unit.
Not much was done to the car before I headed out to SDAC 29. The car ran fairly well...
Drove the car to the front of the house and noticed there was not much brake fluid in it. The car stopped, but a leak is evident. Will be investigating this one soon...
If I'm not mistaken, #497 has spent its life in IA.
I'll have to get under the car. The fuel lines don't look the best, and the driver's floor has been patched, but there isn't any bubbly rust on the top side. I'd like to keep it that way for as long...
I'm going to dump the photos I received from the seller here for historical purposes.

I picked this up last weekend with the intention of making it a daily driver. It has some rust underneath it, but nothing crazy at all. I'll be undercoating it to beat the band and driving it until...
