I am excited to see details about this. That looks like a clean body and you seem to know what you're doing by the looks of it.

 

Pretty sure I got the rear bumper support straightened with some heat and a couple tack welds. Added volume to the oilpan and put a 10 AN fitting for turbo oil return. Cleaned up the interior, waiting for warmer weather to shampoo it. New master cylinder for brakes and clutch. Welded up the holes for the butterfly valve delete on the intake manifold and sandblasted.

 

That will clean up nicely.
Did you get that red craftsman top & bottom recently?
I just got the black 52" set LOL

I'm hunting for another one

Nah I got that maybe 5 years ago.

 

 

That's a pretty clean car. Not all dented and just a little rust here and there. Never seen a brown dash like that. At least it doesn't have a bunch of cracks.

What's the thought on the oil pan? Extra capacity? What cam?

Keep up the good work!

 

It has character, but its worth saving. Good condition for a ND/MN car. I have the philosophy that if I'm removing it, I might as well restore it. I've even been black oxiding the bolts I remove. It hasn't seen direct sunlight for the last 17 years. I hear that people hate the brown interior, I personally like it. It's in great condition and it's not that common. I have the tools and knowledge to add capacity to the pan, so I did. I have 15 years of aerospace machining and I farm. Should add an extra quart. As for the cam, it's a Colt Cams Triflow 2.

 

Finally getting the time to push on this project. Need to get some POR-15 on the frame rails and detail the transmission tunnel. Engine bay took a long time of scrubbing. Well worth it. Put in new steering rack bushings while it was easy. I put vacume on the AC system and believe it or not it is still sealed.

 

Glad to see heat in there, the last few days up here have been brutal.

 

-11F this morning. Makes a guy wonder why anyone lives here.

 

Keep your AC, if you can!
