gutted a lot of interior today and cleaned up the trunk area (eagle 1 wheel and tire is the best de-greaser/cleaner). I found that I have 550cc RC injectors on a stock car....great. I think its the reason for my lumpy idle and how the spark plugs are black...and the car smokes slightly. It just is not running the greatest at low rpm's. The fuel pump is also making a loud ringing noise...any ideas?

i think my idle problems were from vacuum leaks...some IC pipes had no hose clamps...and y pipe had no gasket. Soon as i pressure tested i knew the problem. started getting ready to pull the motor. pics later

started to get ready for the motor pull...didnt get too much done because of other things but the motor is pretty much ready to jump out of there. Interior got cleaned up a bit and pull passenger seat.

motor is almost out..i will have it out and on the stand tomarrow..ready to tear it up. I found that I have a 25 splined x case...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I was happy. I bought all new leather seats and rear speaker panel pieces, just need door panels and the interior will be pretty much complete even though its all gutted right now. I will have pics tomarrow.

I have chosen a color to paint the car I believe.

ready.....

Changing color is a bear. A really nice katani Pearl red. (that's what the maroon one are) looks really nice. You might want to get a look at one that looks good before you decide to change color. Your car reminds me so much of mine when I tried to sell it for 2,000 and couldn't Lot's of work and effort put into it since then and so worth it.

yea i understand that changing colors sucks but ever since i layed eyes on that color i wanted it. we will see what happens in time i suppose
