Got the car back a few days ago and went over some stuff, for starters the hood had some bad paint bubbles that had started to rust so I sprayed it flat black.
The engine pulls strong but needs some revs to get going, not sure where the sweet spot is yet for two reasons. First I have to break in the engine, second I don't have the tac wired up yet.
As you can see the body sags a bit to the drivers side. This is because the previous owner had tried to lower the car by cutting the trumpets that hold the suspension arms to the rubber cone (spring) but he only did it on the one side. I had devised a fix for this with washers but since I didn't tell the guy replacing the subframe about it he didn't put them on. However since the proper ride height is too high I've ordered some Hi/Lo adjustable trumpets to balance things out.
Got both of my seats in too, I've grown a bit from my teenage years and will probably have to replace these with something a bit wider.
As you can see the new AL pulleys and metal fan look great!
Finally got the oil cooler with a solid mount.
New fuel cell, better ballance and also makes working on the rear suspension much easier.
