Default Swapped a classic look for a genuine classic

About a month ago, I traded this:



For this '73 2002:













Over the past few weeks I've replaced some small stuff such as a brake caliper, alternator and voltage regulator. The next order of business is to rebuild the Webers and install a five-speed transmission. Unfortunately, the guy built the car for autocrossing and it is geared way too low for driving on a highway. It has the factory four-speed and a 4.10 limited slip. The car is pretty quick, but runs out of steam at about 60. A five-speed should help it quite a bit.

The paint is mediocre and it needs some 2002 Turbo flares with wider Minilites, but that's a project for some time in the future. As it sits, the car is pretty bitchin' and is really fun to bomb around town in.

Everyone knows my view. It looks ok I guess. Maybe try and get a classic look CD player instead of a suspiciously walkman sport casette colored boat looking radio.

I don't know your view, however I presume you don't like old cars.

I think a better idea is to remove it completely. I can't hear it over the mechanical cacophony the car produces.

OMG I want it. I love those things.

I'm still pissed that my uncle sold my grandpa's race-prepped 2002 about 2 weeks before my grandpa told me I could have it. That was about 10 years ago. Still pissed.
