I will keep everybody posted on how the car is coming along it is a very original car and most every aspect. And trust me I'll be asking questions as I need to learn about it more also. The dual exhaust was put on buy a cheap shop here in town and the workmanship shows it. I will probably end up changing a lot of it but still will keep a dual exhaust as my girlfriend who is the primary driver want something that sounds good and has a lot of poop.the current plan for the interior is new carpet and the front seats need to be restitched in a couple places and possibly the padding built back up and the visors need refurbishment. At that point the interior will be almost perfect. We plan on pulling the motor in the spring and doing a light rebuild maybe a little bit better cam a little bit better compression new bearings, rings nothing too crazy. And mostly clean it all up reseal it and clean up the motor compartment. Oh yeah, and some wheels and tires and drive it!
Glad to see a member bought that car, and got it at a good price! Have fun with it, theyre great little cars!
And to answer Bills question above, no early A body ever came through with dual exhaust, only a Y pipe! The HiPo exhaust for these cars is really nice, if not just a little pricy, but probably worth it in the end!
If the car has dual exhaust and doesn't have the trans crossmember cutout for the passenger side pipe, I make a conversion crossmember to fix that problem for a flow through pipe! Message if you want info about that!
Nice car, it's a great start to a long journey ahead!! Geof
