thanks guys, they are cibie super oscars and i think they are either a love or a hate thing. i had an hid kit in them but one unit was giving me some problems so i took them out for now. i got them from garry graham a long time ago.


That makes them my old Cibies. Enjoy 'em. Here they are when I put them on the Sahara car:


Me, I love 'em and wish I had some on the touring. Instead, I got this on the front:


PS - Car looks great. What's under the hood?

PPS - Got the mirrors, thanks!

Congrats B - I know it felt good to start it up and just go! I've been taking mine around the block, header only, also. I got it up to thirty and it sounded like I was going to break something. How much to get the exhaust done up there? They are charging my $250 for magnaflow resonator and mufffler and 2.5 all the way back. Right on again my bruva from anuva muva.

SEX-E!

Almost like poetry in motion. Well, almost in motion. Not totally up and running yet is she? Get 'er done.

>;P

I thought she sat higher than that before. The stance is wicked but it looks like it'll rub once running.

Also, looks like your front bumper could use a slight adjustment. If you loosen the bolts and simply push it up some you will find it will square off more straight and be a little closer to the grilles. It'll look even better with the front bumper up a hair.

No complaints though. The car is hot. Now that it's all ready you can sell it to me at V@V :)

Subject: Re: 1ST drive

thanks guys, i drove it again today with just a glass pack on it (long story) and got on it a bit thru 1st and second and it put a smile on my face. im not brave enough to really hammer on it till i get a few miles on it but i think this will do fine

PS - Car looks great. What's under the hood?

its a stock 2.3 s14 with a chip, 8lb flywheel and a close ratio 5 speed

"I thought she sat higher than that before. The stance is wicked but it looks like it'll rub once running.

Also, looks like your front bumper could use a slight adjustment. If you loosen the bolts and simply push it up some you will find it will square off more straight and be a little closer to the grilles. It'll look even better with the front bumper up a hair.

it did sit higher.. i had H&R's on it at first but after i put ireland stage 2's on my 69 i knew this had to have them so i swapped them out
i agree about the bumper. i thought i had it but from certain angles its not quite right yet. thanks

"The front Bumperetts match up nice !!

How hard is it to order the rear red fog light ? "


thank you again for hooking me up on the chrome man, they really finish off the front end and he did a really nice job.
that rear fog is actually a minneapolis police alley light off a squad car from the 80's. my dad was a cop and "acquired" a pair somehow. i just ordered a red bulb. its not a real hella but it looks good enough for me.

"You're still welcome to stay with us Thurs. night before we head out to Vintage on Friday am"

i think i will take you up on that generous offer jim. thank you

"Is that the third-light bracket I see sticking up in the rear window? "

yes otis it is, it turned out pretty well too. my thanks to you for taking the time to teach me how to fiberglass. i owe you a beer or a lap dance, your choice.
the lap dance will not be done by me
