I am so excited I just had to make a post! After not running for 9 years, and not having seen her for the past 4 and a half my Torino is has FINALLY made it back to me and she is one BAD ASS machine! I have never had so many people almost crash into my mailbox as they break their necks in disbelief at what is sitting in the driveway lol. I still have some work to get done, the interior took a huge beating during the whole process, The body guy broke 90pct of trim and lost a ton of my hardware. MY immediate priority is to get her street legal which involves replacing a brand windshield that was installed by a moron, seatbelts, and re-wiring the license plate light, and replacing brake pads and shoes. Once that is done Ihave to replace my rear-end asap, it was already humming before the motor was rebuilt. After the rear end I want to add an oil cooler then finish off the interior! HD camera battery died, I will try and get some HD video up soon. You guys should hear her roar, it's insane! Back to the windshield, the guy glued it to the dash and the wipers sit about 3 inches above the windshield, between the body guy and the engine builder horrible experience I will never hire anybody to do anything unless I will be present during the job. Anyways sorry for the ADHD post, here is some pics!!
