Bought this car in June '89 for $16,000, and only had to remove the 'mile an hour tape', and do some bodywork.

The nitrous system was replaced by a stronger one, and a BDS scoop
w/dress-up was installed in August.

The seats were re-upholstered in red, and we proceeded to paint the vehicle.
These pictrues were taken using a digital camera, and are of the finished car.

Although I have raced it many, many times, I think shes about done. I had a guy doing the front axle for me, and he destroyed the spline. Stripped it. So now, That means I have no left side rack & pinion. I have to get a brand new axle, and until then, these are the pics i'll keep up.
