Per,
Looks really good! That's the same year and color combo as my Momma's car 'cept she's got a wagon. We had to dump the motor right away as the leaks around the extra butterfly flaps in the cast intake manifold ate some holes in a coupla pistons. This, at only 144,000 original miles. Damn pipefitters nightmare as the Walrus likes to call it. Currently running the aluminum manny with HS6's bolted to the "how not to build a motor" motor.
Your seats came out much better than hers but I haven't tied to use BLEACH! yet.
Keep 'er goin'!
Happy Holidays all!
Shayne.
