Well an update.

The car got here and wow, it was a mess. Car came in on 4 flats, bad battery, suspension totally shot, (damage from larger rims) Some body damage in the drivers rear (bondo)

I still have not licensed the car as I have been working on it off and on to correct it. The car has not been maintained and those

The list of stuff I've done to the car so far...

replaced the inner and outer tie rods.
replaced passanger axel
replaced all wheel hubs
replaced the rims with original 13" bought 4 new tires.
removed the coil over crap and replaced all 4 struts and new springs.

Things to do
replaced heater core, It's currently bypassed.
remove the fart can on the muffler. The muffler is new, but to loud.
Fix a few of the small cosmetic issues.

I drove the car for the first time this weekend, bringing it home fro a friends shop. It actually drives well, but there seems to be an issue with Overdrive hunting at highway speeds. I may just find and swap in a manual if it's not something simple. The engine is strong, zero smoke. The speedo is correct now since the car is back on factory sized wheels.

Going to start with some of the more common mods, like the rear wheel skirts and front block. Of course is cold here... so work is very slow. But I'll keep chipping away at it.
