No jet here but oh well. Not that I need another project but it was well overdue. Plans are rebuild motor and drive. New interior and stereo, and color sand and buff which Ive sarted myself.

looks good, what did you ever do about the "sunburnt" interior, mine is doing the same thing now any time it is covered, pull the cover off and it goes away after 3 hours in the sun

thanks guys, that sucks Bill. I havent done anything yet to it. If I have enough money this winter Ill redo it its not I was thinking that my old Daytona seats were painted and if you werent told they were painted you would never know. So I may do that to get me by one more year.
