Lol yeah i miss the hell outta that thing. But i had the whole car rewired because the ignition caught on fire, bump steer kit, painting hood & adding factory spoiler. My nitrous kit, i put big tube headers on it, bigger carb. Getting a full factory interior back in it. Fixing the cage and adding nice door bars and putting a different rear end in it.

fixed the starter problems. got it running good today but the float on the carb was fucking up again. im sick of dealing with this carb so im buying a new one. i wouldnt have to buy a new one if somebody wasnt holding my parts hostage, i have a spare 750 holley from when i bought the car.
 
well got a new carb and put it on the road today, put 40 miles on her. seemed pretty smooth. needs alot more tuning and adjusting like any other car. but its finally back on the road.
 
it needs a timing light. shes running a lil rich right now. but its up to 60 miles on the new motor. just glad the person that stole all my parts didnt steal my damn frame too! lol
 
thx dave my dad hooked his vacuum gauge up to it and light and tuned it for me when i got back from vacation. running like a beast now, runs spot on and not rich at all anymore, got 240 miles on the new motor. only complaints are not having a choke on the carb lol. gotta do that this week. overall its been a good daily driver so far haha
