All that work, time, and money for the rear end, and yet it still has the stock suspension?

meh, i know plenty of guys who drive their weekend cars with manual steering, brakes, and a spool. one of which is a high 9sec 75 camaro on pump gas. weighs more than my TC and drives it every weekend in the summer.

The only time a manual rack sucks is in low speed turns, ie parallel parking.  My old 89 GT had a poor man's manual rack (recirc the lines).

I just don't see a problem ...
And I dont see the problem with putting a chevy engine in a ford ... Just brand-British cigarettes who hates it ...

I like that car but ofcourse some things I would change!

thats just ugly. maybe its the yellow. or maybe its that retarded bird catcher that has no purpose. as i was looking at the pictures theres only one that i thought.. not bad.  the rims. love that style of rim, but he can keep them, and the car, and burn it to the ground. i know i know dont kill a bird.  but that  killed that car already. burn it to the gorund after taking the tailights off.

A true manual rack will be easier to turn than that ;)
