The story:
My father bought the car for me when i was around 16. We got it home then at some point he ordered a full front end rebuild kit and a set of addco swaybars. He rebuilt one side of the front end (supposedly i helped but i dont recall) and the car got parked out back and moved once or twice but prettymuch sat till i was about 20. I rebuilt and painted the other side of the front end and installed some kyb gas-adjust shocks. The next thing i had to tackle was the blown rear brake line, I played it safe and decided to just replace all of them so i ordered brake lines from inline tube and installed those. Then i noticed my pedal was spongy, long story short i replaced damn near everything in the brakes and its still spongey but drivable. So now that the brakes worked i could drive the car, i noticed the thing would ping and backfire out the carburator. I rebuilt the carburator which it needed anyway then did plugs, rotor and cap. I dident replace the plug wires since they looked pretty new. the car still ran like crap so i did a timing chain. Still ran like crap. then i changed the plug wires and she finaly ran good. Stupid mistake on my part. Then go figure, a few days later my dads friend gives me a 340 cam. #-o So anyway ive been driving the car for a few months on and off and its nice to be driving it. but thats just the beginning of this ongoing story.
Changes ive made prior to making this thread:
I bought a 2" dual exhaust with H pipe and rusty tips for 100 bucks Then got 2 glasspacks for 15 dollars. sounds great on there.
I found a set of rally wheels and caps that my dad bought for me at some point in the trunk so ive bolted those on with some 225/60/14 bfgs.
I added a temporary radio that i got for free. I have a new radio but the windsheild leaks too bad at the moment. i wont risk ruining it.
I did wiper pivot seals since they were bad looking. go figure they werent the culprit of the leak though!
I added a grant reproduction tuff wheel. It looks and feels alot better than the stock one.
I put a fuel filter and fuel pump on since i have had the engine randomly cut out on me. dident solve the problem of course.
I put a dome light cover on the car since it dident have one.
I effed with the gauges and got them all working great! except the speedometer but thats likely the cable.
I installed the addco front swaybar. After i went around a turn with the car trying to pass someone at 50 mph and the right rear tire started spinning i figured i had some body roll.
Parts ive acquired:
I got the entire nose of a 72 dart for 200 bucks.
my dad bought a plymouth feather duster a while back for 200 bucks. We took all the 4 speed gear out of it and the tranny.
I got a used 833 non OD and bellhousing for 250 it needs a rebuild.
I got a go wing and hoodscoops at some point for my birthday or christmas.
I got a A body rear with 323 gears and a sure grip for 600 bucks from a local member
At some point my dad got me 2 quarter panels.
I have some other misc parts but this is the big stuff ive aquired. Also keep in mind all the stuff my dad got me was over the span of at least 5 years. im not that spoiled.
