Hey from Cheney / Med Lake area. I saw that car on craigslist not bad for a 500 deal, so what's the plan on it? I just pick up my 1985 3rd gen TA about a month ago all stock and working on all the small issues but it's a driver.

Awesome Formula you got there, especially for $500.00! Looking forward to seeing it all done, are you going to keep it original?

Re: newbi with a bird

thanks
the first thing is to rip out the 305 clean up the engine bay and put in a 383 with about 300 rear wheel hp then same susp/brake mods some custom 18x10 and 19x9 wheels [rushforth] then paint car all yellow with formula
on the sides. i started to build the 383 motor. hoping next summer to have it on the road.
