Basically, everything's stock. It's my beater car to go to and from work and school. In around a year, or when I get my 67 Belvedere on the road, I'll find a nice clean GT verson, and start modifying it. I thought I'd post some pictures though.

These little cars, even when stock, are a blast to drive!

I probably will at some point.

I do have to replace the right front lower ball joint though, and I'm wondering, does it take any special tools? I'm use to working on old MoPar's, not these.

I'll be picking up a new ball joint tomorrow for it.

Old MoPars as in my very first car is a 67 Plymouth Belvedere II. I got the colt for every day driving, but love it the more I drive it.

I got the ball joint out today without a hitch. :D

Nice ride, you should turn that 1.5 into a fire-breather, it'll be all that much more fun than stock.

Nah, I'm going to sell this once my 67 Belvedere's on the road and buy an already swapped turbo CSM.

Fawkin pro installation if I do say so myself. :hail:

BTW, does anyone have a good, working deck they'd like to sell or trade for a sub/amp? I was thinking of getting a cheapo tape deck for it from target unless someone here has one for real cheap.

Might be able to do that, assuming of course I don't run it into the ground.

Like I said, I will want to replace this with a turbo colt or mirage, so we'll see.
