I like it a lot, but if it were mine, I would definitely change out that rear hatch for a stock one and I'd put on a golf ball shift knob.![]()

car is super nice, remember seeing it on here in the past. take good care of it. I personally think the hatch is unique. Wheels arent my style but very clean car none the less.
goodluck

God I miss this car. I can tell you that the pictures don't do it any justice! Glad to see your enjoying it!

Looks like a clean car. Maybe smaller wheels and tires?? Looks like a rabbit on steroids.
I even like the hatch.

I'm interested in your block and head combination, any issues joining the two, hows did work, what kind of power are you making. I posted a thread about doing the samething but everyone said the compression ratio would so hight you would have to run race gas.

Very nice car. I'd de-silver stripe the front grill, go back to two front wipers, get rid of the beer tap shift knob, point the lights correctly and call it good enough until I tackled replacing the trunk lid. All very minor stuff in the grand scheme of things.

Please dont wreck this car- I remember being a high school senior- If u want to drive fast, just go to the racetrack.
Not that it matters, but what do the high school stuendts think about your car. Im curious bc I am a high school teacher!
