Like it dude. What does it weigh?

Rough guesstimates puts it around 3100lbs...maybe 3000 at the least. Unfortunately, it has a blown 2nd gear synchro now. I'm attempting to get 1-4 face-plated this summer. I'm also attempting to make tubular sub-frames and cross members to drop the weight down to around 2600lbs.

Saw your car in the back of the mag...sounds like you will have a fun summer as an intern! Looking forward to seeing what else you do with the car!

Upvote and props to anybody brave enough to tackle one of these complex beasts. I had a turbo Stealth that I loved, but the mileage was getting up there and the upcoming maintenance scared the bejesus out of me. Such cool cars, though.

Thank you so much; all of you. I appreciate the votes. I can't wait to start making progress on this car. You'll see the updates as soon as they happen!
