Finally I'm not embarrassed as much to show off my $500 ride!

Ok, here's the story:  Bought (stole:giggle: ) the '88 off a friend of mine for $500.  80K miles, needs a little.  Fixed power locks and the keyless door.  Bought centerlines off of ebay with tires for $200, picked 'em up in Ohio.  H.O. intake with throttle body etc. off ebay, invested a total of $80 plus gaskets.  Forgot to put on intake hose when starting the car, sucked neighbors cat into intake.  I also bought eibach (1"-2"drop) springs that this forum lead me to on ebay.  I can't believe no one else bid on them... Brand new and shipped to my door for $60.  8.8 rear end for $20, thanks again guys! (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=8670) then a set of 5.0 E6 (I know...) heads off the same guy for $40.  Hopefully the body gets done this weekend.  Let me know what you think! BTW, I am looking for a set of 3.73's for the rear end!  I am hoping to get up to Beaver Run Raceway for some autocross in September... Anyone up for it?

Looks good man, I just can't understand why you would pay money for a set of heads that are ...E7's are the way to go.  BTW, your photoshop lowering job looks nice, but it's more like 3-4" lowered there....lol.

Thanks guys! Well, I guess it's blue then.  The color has grown on me quite a bit anyway.  Sick, I promise to use the e6's for paperweights!
