Re: rebuilding of a racecar
Well we got the msd system all mounted in the back of the car (were the back seat would be) and we got the engine back together, installed and fired up. Sounds real good. I will post a pic when I get all the decals on it.

Re: rebuilding of a racecar
Ok I hate to say this but I'm putting the ghia up for sell. I have bought a new racecar and I have no place to keep 2 racecars. So if any of you are interested let me.
