After a year of rebuilding the engine, I finally got the sound, suspension and body art done.
A year and a half of getting a broken hand-me-down POS to decent road status finally over.
It isn't fast at all, but its great for cruising and listening to music. Not much else to do here, theres only one main road and the highest speed limit is 45mph.
Only a couple more minor things to go: tightening a belt and fixing a tiny oil leak.
The oil leak is so minor I would just leave it alone but since it drips straight onto the header heat shield, it runs back along the exhaust and occasionally causes noticable smoke from under the car. I figure its just a spot in the valve cover, although I've checked it 3 or 4 times with no success already.
Now I'll run it to death and sell it when I move away, or if I stay I'll get some sort of forced induction or engine swap, and some new tires.
WOOHOO finally done! Now my hands hurt and I need a shower, catch ya later!
