Love the underhood portion. Bummer about the hood/cowl.

No. It will eventually. Hasn't been too much of a priority right now.

Yes. Downgraded to a stock 95 gt motor with an E303 cam. I got this and $500 for my motor.

Looking good, I had the same thing happen to my cowl many years ago, nothing a body hammer and some bondo cant fix, lol. That interior sure looks clean, you practically stole that car for what you paid

My mom's next-door neighbor briefly owed one pretty identical to this one about 5 or 6 years ago. Any history of it having been registered to anyone in Baytown?

Heater/Evap core replacement time! I picked up 94/95 AC hoses, evap core, and fox condenser recently to get the AC working in this thing. The hoses will take a little modifying, but not too bad.



Old bits:

Awesome work !!! And as stated above, you DO work fast. I had my a/c recharged last fall when I swapped my heater core, but haven't tried it since. I think it's time before the weather turns to fire again this summer.
