Is that a sweet 80's EQ I see under the radio? Nice find.

Step away from the Hi-Fi.

So I work late, and don't have a garage so I haven't had time to work on the beast. But the good thing about working at a dealership. I had one of the techs mount my back tires today.
They are cheap for now. But they had decent reviews. And the mounting only cost me a hotdog and soda. Lol

Thank you, I got a hell of a deal on them. My neighbor had them sitting under a tree. I got the 15x10 rears and 14x8 with 245/60r14 bfgs fronts for 200 bucks. They were in les schwab bags and still in really good condition.

Also I know I'm going to have to lift the rear a little. I found some spacers. But I'm also wanting stiffer springs all the around. But not lowering springs just stiffer. What have some of you guys ran?

Well got the steering wheel pulled and lock plate removed. Then since we could turn it, we got it off the trailer finally. Now the real work can start.
Also my lady pulled the back seat out to crawl in the trunk and see if the keys were in there. Sadly they weren't, but I snapped this funny shot of my lady working on what she called the junk heap. Lol
I'm hoping to get a bunch more done tomorrow.
I have to order some spring spacers for sure.

I've got some Milestars on the front of my car for that same reason.. dirt cheap lol. They ride decent enough and for the price I paid I really can't argue. Sweet car man!

Got all the garbage out of it today. And there was a lot of garbage. Also vacuumed it out along with the engine bay. Then started pulling all the trim pieces off to remove the headliner. Couldn't find my torx bit so I was stuck at the upper seat belt mounts. Got all the other trim pieces off without breaking any. They are super brittle so I was thinking about painting them. Next round will be dry scrubbing the engine bay, then soap and water, then degreaser. Also the shift boot was ragged so I ghettoed a new one up along with a old beer tap my grandpa gave me.

Thanks man, it was a factory four speed v6. But at some point in time someone swapped a 305 and th350 in there. Would have really liked the four speed. Maybe some day.
