Needs List (incomplete) :
• New home :) Have another project ready to come out of the garage and sadly just need room
• Transmission needs to be rebuild: on full throttle slips in 2nd gear, regular driving - no notable transmission issues
• Proper tune, currently it has a Speed Density tune - was given help from fellow co worker how to tune it and that's how it is.
     Never tuned it properly since transmission needs to be rebuilt.
• I had a/c before cam swap, then moved engine 1/2 inch forward and then the hose for expansion valve to compressor was too short.
     Now.... I see it was an easy fix, but I already re used the old parts instead of just putting  hose splice in :(
Paint Job
• Wheels have been separated, cleaned, failed clear coat from the barrels has been removed with aircraft stripper and not re-cleared.
    wheels have a chalky dull finish now :( takes a lot of polish to get them back to shiny.
• Headliner needs to be redone
• Headlight assemblies are OEM halogen, retrofitted with FX-R projectors and covers have been replaced with ebay euro style years ago, and have yellowed.
• All 4 door brakes are cracking - needs to be replaced
• All ABS sensors are probably original and the plastic/rubber is falling apart along with wire insulation / copper wire is exposed
