Thanks Mitch. It is just a base model that came with the 12A and 4 speed. The only option it had was A/C. The engine was blown and it was probably destined for the crusher, as so many other 1stgens are, if I hadn't bought it. It has some hail dents, but very little rust. The only rust through it had was where the front of the lower rear axle control arms mount to the body, the normal spot. This is no longer a concern.

Well, mine haven't exactly been getting a lot of wear and tear on them lately either. It could be worse, we could own FDs where one set of tires is all you'll ever need.

LOL, yeah you get a break on tires but you'll need a damned good set of jack stands that are rated for 24/7 usage!

LOTS and LOTS of measuring and fitting. Which is why it is taking so long for just a little bit of work. It has been 2 steps forward and 1 step back during this part of the build. Some days more back than forward.

I thought those came as standard equipment on all FDs?
