        Yes sir . I found that car on CL about 10 years ago for my buddy who traded a daily ricer car for it . It was his daily for years and we did tons of work to it including a tranny , the Florida 5.0 gauge pod and numerous motor stuff . The Volvo cooler we did along with that piping that was a kit that was in the back of the car when he got it . We made the cuts and he went and had some hack weld it . The passenger side trim at the bottom of the door I made from one off an early (79) fox after he hit a big ass log on the highway . That is also where 2 of the original rims got cracked . I made the little center wing support if that is sill there cause it was sagging . We never fixed the a/c cause that big header moved the turbo up and interfered with the lines and he never got new ones made . I always liked it but my idiot buddy used it as a trade in and got like 1200 bucks against a new car . He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer . This is just a little of the stuff I know about it .

            Interesting info! Florida 5.0 cluster is no longer there, wing support is still there. Volvo intercooler is still there along with the... Um... Interesting welded chrome intercooler piping.... The whole car needs to be rebuilt. I'm taking on one project at a time. Biggest next project will be getting rid of the hodge podge front suspension....

                Low 9's in the 8th. Not horrible for those days.

                  Took at look at the base timing, 0*BTDC.... Well, that could be a problem. Set it to 10*btdc, fuck ford for that clamp bolt location BTW, and viola it has power. I am a little shocked at how much power TBH. Anyone know where the boost line to the gauge is? I can't seem to find it.

                  And a quick shot of it in it's native condition. Hood up, tools everywhere.

                      Currently in that back of that Jeep. In bad need of a cleaning, but all there and in decent shape.

                        lol at the trademark ill fitting tbird intercooler. Up the timing, throw a bleeder valve from home depot on it, crank the boost to 21 and go to town.

                          Much as I would like to keep it, this bird will be for sale very soon. I'll let the new owner worry about that.
