not just the VW diesels either, basically any vehicle that you love.
Can I take 6 pages for this??? I guess I'll keep it to the ones I still have.. Gone but not forgotten are the '72 Buick Electra coupe, and the '75 Gran Torino sedan.. Those are the 2 cars that I truly miss almost on a daily basis.. I'm sure most of you have seen my thread about the diesel Cutlass.. I'm not in love with it, it was just something I've always wanted..
This was my first car, a hand-me-down from my sister.. I had to mothball it on '04 when the windshield cracked and the doors ceased to close properly.. The A-posts were broken loose from the roof..
1978 Mustang II born with a 2.8v6 and a C4 auto.. The combo that broke things was a K-code 289 with some serious porting, and extra lumpy bump stick, A9L port injection with 24lb/hr injectors, truck lower intake, custom upper, stainless 2.5" duals with x-pipe and knock off flowmasters.. Coupled that to a well built 4 speed (AOD) automatic and an 8.8 diff with 3.73's and a powertraxx locker.. Could stand her on her nose with 11" Granada discs up front and 10" Explorer binders in the rear.. Straightened the turns with adjustable KYB's on all corners, neoprene bushings and good springs everywhere, 1.5" front sway bar, 1" rear sway bar, 205/50/15's all the way around.. A/C, PS, PB, PW, PL, RKE, and remote start.. The 7 grand tach just made the cut, the 120 speedo was a tad inadequate.. If only I had installed those subframe connectors sooner.. I can't tell you the quarter mile time as I never drag raced it (legally).. I do know that around 150 it became very aerodynamically unstable.. With a light foot it could see 25mpg highway on RUG..
I purchased another shell a few years back that I haven been slowly getting prepped (with extra reinforcement).. To take up for the weight gain from the reinforcement I have fiberglass bumpers, fenders, and a hatch.
