i've been way to lazy to go and make a thread for this car and i will finally well i started with a stock 89 sundnace rs with a auto and working A/C lol and i replace a few trans untill i just rebuilt one to be pretty much bullet proof, then i got trans in the car and the car went lean and burnt a piston, so i got a rebuilt motor off my buddy, well i got it installed and it has REALLY bad piston slap, so i am driving it untill the thing blows up lol, 2500 miles since installed and its running good, well here are some pictures of the misc things i have done here and there.
the bar i made theres before welding and mock up, then during welding, and before paint but sanded and ready, and then theres painted the ONLY COLOR I HAVE lol and this was 3 am so i wasnt driving to store, lol and theres installed and it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE!

ok i was driving it today and thought about it and i havent changed the plugs since 07 lol so i started taking them out and i saw why i havent changed them in that time, the head has 2 spark plugs have heli coils in them soo i just threaded them back in and left it at that! i am going to swap heads soon becuse its a 455 i think,
