I am thinking this would make it even better looking:

- relocate battery in trunk
- new smaller coolant tank
- new window washer fluid tank

Lookin' good

As for the coolant and washer fluid bottles, I used a combo unit out of a 91 Exploder, and mounted where my charcoal canister used to be. I am moving my battery to the trunk when the Formula comes out of storage this spring.

slp non emissions 1 3/4 shorties.

yeah i have new smaller coolant tank coming with new cap, as well as a new washer fluid bottle.

also went with one of those aluminum tpi covers.



I have been viewing the boards alittle, but i am now tied up with another car now, 2001 ws6

yeah my interior is still the better part of the car. it needs paint and some body work, daily driving for 4 years almost has taken its tole.


the tranny needs attention also, its start to get very weak now and i bought a vette servo but havent put it in yet.

That's what I figured. What'd you do with the lines and wires and such? I see there's a carb fuel filter on that one...

IF you ever sell that formula, offer it to TGO first, cuz I would try my best to buy it.

I dont blame you for being into the 01 ws6 either!
