To do list (parts on order or on hand):

adjust rear suspension down 1.5\"
new front spoiler ($360)
replace master cylinder ($200)
replace both rear wheel bearings ($150)
replace all 4 rear axle boots ($50)
replace 2 wheel studs ($10)
install new (sony 60x4) stereo ($100 i know a guy... ;) )
install heavy duty front racing swaybar ($350)
install new 16x8 \"Motorola cup\" edition lightweight Porsche factory racing rims and new 245/45/16 rear tires (got rims used from a buddy for $400, plus another $200 for the two tires)

Suffice it to say, i'll be busy- and broke- for quite a while now. :-P

If you're not going to keep your OE Phonedials, I might be in the market for them.

the ones coming off are 16x7 up front, and 16x8 in the rear. Two are scuffed, and all 4 need refinishing, but you can have the whole set for 200 plus actual shipping if you want them.

Hmm, I'll keep them in mind. My motor decided to blow oil everywhere so I'm currently in the market for either a turnkey 1600cc or a street legal Dune Buggy that's down the road from me with a 1600cc in it.

Funds have dwindled too low for a 2332cc or bigger. Actually there is a \"damaged\" Blue, '75 near me that is fairly cheap and has quite a bit of the interior and other goodies I need for my car, not to mention a strong running 1600cc Fuelie motor (just like mine).
