This is My '88 XR. Of course I've just started working on it as you can see. So we'll call these pics the "Before" pics. As I get stuff finished I'll post the "after" pics.

Mac Truck IC

So far all I've done is Swap some body parts from the parts car and sand the paint a little, added a large VAM, LA2 computer and cone filter, removed most of the AC stuff, Crammed a Mac truck IC in front of the rad, relocated the battery. Next on the list (pending arrival of parts): 17" wheels/Kumho rubber, AVO springs, KYB shocks?struts, Shock/strut tower braces, Gutted & turned upper intake, Ported/knife edged lower intake, Ranger roller cam, 3" plumbing for the Big Mac, 3" exhaust turbo-tail.
