Re: '83 3.8L, 50 MPG, big brakes

I really can't understand why a car that drives so right hasn't sold, but time for a perfectionist redo, with an LSx V8 swap, another rear axle swap, fender flares, much wider wheels and tires, time to humiliate some Ferraris and such on you tube to shame their owners into paying me to turbo-LSx-swa...

Re: '83 3.8L, 50 MPG, big brakes

Interior is mostly done, car is daily-driveable, and the owner wants to sell, no "dialing it in".
Any offers?
Any V8, any trans, any axle for the right bid. Likewise delivery.

Re: '83 3.8L, 50 MPG, big brakes

I got depressed, then I had no enthusiasm for this project, then I got engaged, now I'm married. The car is inspected, smogged, registered, and being driven weekly, but isn't done enough yet. The speedometer is 11-12% pessimistic, engine vacuum is reading low for no apparent reason, first gear is ne...

Re: '83 3.8L, 50 MPG, big brakes

Yep, plus there are other bits and pieces. I'm despairing of having it ready in time. Bleeding the clutch hasn't made the racing slave cylinder begin moving yet, I haven't gotten the engine cranked yet, and this morning my father died in his sleep. OTOH, I may be spending 3 months 160 KM SW of Oslo ...
