The Car
This was the car when we first got it home, missing the front bumper as you can see and quite dirty to boot. Our work is cut out for us be the end result will be well worth it.
The venerable 13B, and a shot of the engine compartment.(no carb)
This is a good shot of the headers and the Jay Tech intake manifold.(again no carb)
This is just the preview of the potential of the car, after just a little bit of cleaning she already looks like something. Also the wing is just set on there for now to show you what it's going to look like.
This is what the engine looks like with the carb on there. The picture on the right is the little snag we hit; we need to find an adaptor to fit the throttle cable onto the linkage.
On the left, you can see what the engine looks like with the new air cleaner. The engine is ready to go! The throttle cable had to be jury-rigged for now, until we can find an adapter. This is OK since the car will not be driven for a while yet.
This is the new exhaust we bought for the car.
Here you can see the new exhaust mounted up.
This is what the car looks like with the new bumper! It still needs new turn signals, though.
Today, we had a new windshield put in! Factory look with the tinted stripe, and you can actually see through it, not like the old glass, which was completely shattered.
Keep checking back as we will be updating the site as we work on the car!!
