I think I'm just gonna go for the white one...


My wife's not happy with you :) Expect her to pound you one in the arm if you show up at BPG.

Good choice.

This is the best (comparable) we can find up here:

a bunch of work to restore the heater box, etc.

Not much work to do the body bushings...you can do that yourself.  Some instructions on gnttype....wir ing harness is harder

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

it is easy...on some northern cars, the bolts are rusted into the nuts welded in the body and that causes a problem.  An impact wrench usually is the safest way to break them loose...imo

It seems a little tighter, but I also installed the GNX bushings. The biggest issue is if the bolts are rusted and break. The rear bumper has to be removed for the two back most positions.

FWIW-I was told by a local once he realized the bumpers need to come off he "flew" through the rest of them, having wasted days prior.

I'm not getting the gray one either...no heat, and a bunch of other stuff that would make it un-drivable for a better part of half the year here in AL or take too much money and effort to make it so I could.  And my friend decided to keep the white one.
