Thx Orangustang.
its a automatic no turbo. I do a city/ Highway mix of driving. All the EPA things I've read seemed to say it would only do 24 mpg high way. My Brother has a 91 brick SW he always smokes me with 25 + mpg

The Aluminum is pretty thick maybe 1/8 think or something. Ate up all my metal jigsaw blades. Got it at the Joes recycling for 15 bucks when I was trading in cans. No braces on the back wheel just sheet metal screws. Its gonna be a bad time undoing it when I get a flat .

The Exhaust was rusty and the 02 sensor was bad. Got that fixed. for about 80 bucks

Rigged up the air filter box so it sucks hot air all the time off the exhaust
Added slack to AT kick down cable so it stays in gear longer

Removed the Ac compressor, removed all the wood boards inside that cover the spare tire

Trimming the under side with black plastic garden trim to get that Nascar look
Blocked of the front radiator grill.


Things I plan do. disconnect Power steering. Rig up altenator so I can switch it off. Get some solar panels to charge the battery. Figure out how to make it go into overdrive under 45 mph. Rip out carpet and insulation. Replace the tires when these one wear out, Take out the back seat.. SC
