I have a super long list of crap to do on this car and have been trying to get the little things out of the way like weight reduction and aesthetic stuff. I pulled 15-20lb of sound deadening out from under the interior carpet earlier this week, ripped out 2 of 4 horns (why so many???), rewired the water pump so it looks less rigged, removed the ugly prinstripes, painted some centercaps, cleaned the engine bay a little, and cleaned up the front bumper. The PO thought that drywall tape and spray paint was an acceptable way of fixing the giant crack in the bumper so I've been trying my best to make it look less fugly. Apparently non-acetone nail polish remover from Rite Aid removes spray paint really well. I also added drift stitches for +143894598 scene points, yo!

I got the car inspected and have been fixing a ton of little things lately. Tightened up the steering box for less slop, readjusted the tow because it was totally out of whack/darty as hell (PO hit some curbs), rewired the tach, horns, installed a better shift boot/knob, swapped the passenger seat to manual rails (no more power), etc. Tomorrow I will put in my new oil pressure gauge and figure out whether or not the H/C will be going on this shortblock. If the pressure is good then that'll happen during thanksgiving break. I also need to delete the ABS, convert the other front seat to manual rails, remove other odds/ends and get this piggy on the scale.
Trying to get the car somewhat together because there's a Regular Car Reviews meet at the end of this month in Orwigsburg. Maybe he'll wanna drive it again??? lol

Surprisingly, motor has 25psi at hot idle. Figured the missed shifts, overheating, and huge amount of abuse from the PO would've done something... I guess H/C is a go. Gonna see if I can trade these 1.6 rockers for 1.7s to make up for puny towing cam.

Currently hoarding parts for the upcoming H/C swap I hope to get done around Thanksgiving. Scooped these guys up for $150 new on fleabay.
