    "THE BACON" my new L bod project

    so after a tremendous 13 hour drive from MD, i unloaded the daytona, we took a ride out to streamwood, and what a pleasant suprise!! this lil fellow followed me home!!!! ......

    so he was slightly banged up, but i picked it up for $20 bucks... i couldnt resist.....sooooo its looking like im going to need some parts, if anyone has some stuff there not going to use...."The Bacon" sure could use some surgery ... thats what i named it "the Bacon" in honor of the SDAC 20 epic parking lot conversation!!

    1987 Horizon auto fact loaded including rear wiper!!!! "The Bacon"


    so far it looks like i need...
    R L fenders
    hood
    core support
    head light "doors"
    pass corner marker ....
    grill
    there is a small dent in the front bumper however it wasnt from this crash....

    the kid i got it from rear ended a landscaping truck....and it hit up high....the frame rails seem to be srtaingt and the core support crossmember is straight also....also the cowl panel is untouched.....that was the kicker for me right there!!!..and the fact it has NO RUST!!!!!! is a big plus...

    not sure i wanna do a 5 lug conversion considering its primarrly going to be for drag'n but do plan on T2 w/ either SBEC or SMEC or poss Big Stuff3 FI.....still up in the air on making a banger car or keep it auto...we all know how i love my autos....but it will hopefull remain this look, as the paint is fresh and it has only 6x,000 miles on him...prob going to see the TIV 2.2 block i got go in it, and i dont know what else yet oh and TONS of weight reduction.....so most of the interior will be coming out and i think id be willing to trade some pieces for some things i need....ill get a bunch more pics up later....

    LOL... I vote 2.2L here. An L-body makes your Sebring's engine compartment look roomy! Dont get me wrong, it will fit, but each 16V L-body I see, I dont mind my big heavy Daytona so much

    A light car can go far with a T03, can easily upgrade later too. I say get it running first and go from there.
