Finally getting rid of the stock exhaust manifold.

This header is going to mate to the existing 2-1/2" exhaust pipes.

Going very well so far.

 

Intake is now on. Those bottom nuts were a sob to get a socket or wrench on to tighten.

Did you notice the billet steering rack clamps?

My Sept 70 parts car arrived today. Sadly it only had two front wheels on as rear suspension pulled apart when putting on flatbed. Grrrr.

Anyway all is well. Back end is gone but a lot of interesting parts:

BRE Spook

Rear hatch with vents

Dash with radio and 140psi gauge

Excellent Centre console

Grill

Badges

I need to figure out how to get the hood off to see head and front end (which I need)

It also came with ZFinding floor pans and BadDog Rails in boxes ?

Got the parking brakes adjusted. The Silvermine cable is a little longer than stock so I had to adjust the linkage a bit.
Connected the rear brake lines and bolted the calipers down.
Adjusted the rear camber settings on the top of the CX Racing coil overs to let the big meaty 225/60R16 tire’s get under the wells.
Still needs a little adjusting but the Techno Toy Tuning rear lower control arms are phenomenal for adjustments!
Next up is the front brake lines and some small adjustments there before I drop the car on the ground. I’ll probably fill the diff while it’s still in the air too.

Before:

Bumpers are in good shape.  Roof liner is perfect.

And it even has the cast aluminum HURST shifter that we made so many of in grade 8 metal work!

• early gauges
• early radio
• early mirror
• early alternator
• early hatch with vertical wires and vents (uncracked)
• one storage door
• grill in great shape
• Bumpers in great shape
• Side and window glass in great shape
• 2 sets of 4 screw carbs
• mostly uncracked plastic panels
• perfect center console
• perfect headliner and vinyl trim

Notable items:

• Engine and transmission was swapped
• no differential

Easy peasy!  Great find on a parts car - I'm seriously jealous.
