Hello Steve, you've got some projects there. I'm restoring a 73 Runabout and staying w/the stock 2.0. Lots-o-Fun finding parts and fixing all the little issues. I ask Lots-o-Questions and get help from thoes who have the info I need. I'm sure when you have questions they will try to help you too.

Did you pick up the 75 yet?? if yes post some pics  ;D

oh yea... almost forgot... welcome to the group  ;)

Hey... I was wondering what a luggage rack would look like on a coupe  ;D

looks good... if you're going for fast car but a sleeper look the luggage rack has to stay.

someone already suggested i permanently mount a piece of luggage and use it to hide a n20 bottle in it. the rack is staying!
