thanks. the car was cobbled together from a junk-yard shell and misc donor parts, so i'm sorta keeping it beat-up as a way of paying homage to it's history.
just showing i guess. isnt that what this forum is for. i listed specs so others can get an idea. did I post this in the wrong forum. sorry i don't come here too often.
find a referee station near you and go talk to the guy. ask him specifically what items you'll need to have (give him your vin). you might only have to have EGR and a catalytic converter for a 78.
if you go on ebay motors, and search "fender mirror" there are lots of options (british , jap, german examples) I personally don't like the bullet style, I like the older, thinner ones.
