Little history...
Bought this car in Oct '09 from a guy that wanted to sell it for parts. He said it was in good condition & had never been registered after '05, but was started & moved daily. I asked him to Email me some pics & was surprised at the condition the car was in. Car was in great condition. I went to look at the car & decided I had to get. I bought the car never hearing it run due to a seized clutch slave.

Pics when I got her to my job...

After getting the car to my job, we messed with it a little & got it to start & run with a new fuel pump. Was surprised at how strong the motor sounded & that it did not smoke. Got it towed to R&D Perf where the slave cyl was rebuilt & the car was looked over. I then took it home where it stayed put for a while until some parts that I ordered showed up.

Here are some pics of her cleaned up...
