Default My baby!!!

All right I finally got ALOT done to her other than the engine. I took a few pics of the interior which I practically completely redid as well as cleaned and conditioned the other day. It's not perfect but it is ALOT better than what I had in there before.

I also have a few more things to put in. GReddy EGT guage is sitting on my dining room table waiting to be installed for one. Without further adeiu(SP?) here are the pics:

I'll get a few more pics later but this is a start until I get more done to her. Once I get a good wax job and get the rear louvres on the car again I'll take a few more.

Not yet still working on the engine. I don't even have the 3" exhaust on her yet (It's REALLY pretty complete stainless steel 3" turbo back exhaust). Once that's done and the guages are installed, I'll hopefully be putting in a digital guage cluster next then I'll start the body work.

As for rev limit, I never run it above 5K since it's basically a brand new engine. Power wise I'd guess I'm putting out around 250 once I get her running right. After that once I finish putting the exhaust on and if I get a cam, I'm sure I could hit 300 if not more.

Damn dud that sucks. They're nice cars and they REALLY have some @$$ behind them if you know how to work on 'em. I wouldn't recommend one for a first car though. A bit too much work if you ask me. I love mine to death though.
