Good shit man. My grandfather bought this new and it was a 1.5 12 valve with a 4 speed manual. The basest of the base. When he passed in 96 he left it to my cousin and when she passed in 08 she gave it to me. I beat the dog shit out of it and swapped my built 63 into it. Be proud to drive that car bro, it means a lot to me and it has a lot of history. I'm happy to see that it went to a good home. Good luck with it and try to keep me updated please.
I'll be keeping it for quite a while. Currently it has an E316G E3 exhaust manifold, probably the same exhaust you had on it with a hole in the flex-pipe, Colt GT seats that the foam is getting tired on, 660 injectors, GM-MAF in pull mode, Maf-T.
I had to replace the clutch (it was spent) with a used stocker, AFPR, all 4 wheels were bent (now running 15" Drag DR-12's w/ 195/50r15 falkens) Turbo oil seals were leaking (the guy I bought it off of was feeding the 16g oil from the OFH, I moved it to Head feed, no more smoke), installed an SAFC-II I had laying around.
I have an ACT2600 waiting to be installed along with a different turbo tranny that has a LSD. Bodywork under the black paint is starting to fail and the top radiator support is all kinds of wrinkled, so she will get new fenders, URS and maybe doors (PO supplied all of those for my $800 purchase). I am looking to go PlastiDip for the Colt, keeping it black.
FYI, the PO blew the HG 10 miles after buying it from you, then replaced it (re-using the old head bolts with the front ones @ 30-50lb/ft torque) and blew it again. I bought it after that
Make sure you head out to the Shootout this year, it will be there.
BTW, what shifter assembly did you install in it? Need to replace a few bushings in it.
