Draynor Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Alright so big things are about to happen in the next few weeks. Scored on a 79 510 hatch today with H5wagon. It has a running L20,Dogleg,Matchbox,and even a tach! Hopefully Going to be pulling the engine and tranny next weekend and get them all cleaned up, and dropped in the following weekend. The only things I really need to do now are figure out what I am gonna do about the pedal assembly and the tranny mount? H5wagon is going to be taking the shell and probably dropping my old L16 in it with a 4 speed for the fun of it :P (The body is actually really straight) I also picked up the other two Enkei's. Here are some pics, The engine looks like :poop: for now,But it runs pretty smooth. Coming off the truck Mike's son loves it!!! Might try and fit this up So many extra parts Expect to see some updates and probably a video or two soon...So excited :w00t: Quote Link to comment
