I have owned the car now since end of January and couldn't bring myself to show it to anyone. The car previously had 325/50-15 tires on the rear with station wagon springs and tires out of the wheel wells, and tiny tires on the front stretched onto 8-9" wheels. I pulled the wheels and sold them and started doing all the brakes over. New master, new hoses, rotors, drums, wheel cylinders, backing plates, wheel bearings, and springs. I had bought the wheels and was waiting to get the tires until all the brake bleeding was done. Its a 229 V6 bucket seat, AC car. Mostly stock and untouched so it may be a nice project to put a v8 in some day. Unfortunately the fuel pump has an oil leak that is coming out between the 2 halves of the pump while its running so that is being changed now. But I did drive it 20 miles with the oil pump dripping so I could finally see if it all works. So here it is finally out of the garage after sitting on stands for 3 of the last 4 months in a condition that I am willing to share.
