Sort of a shame that there is the head gasket issues. Starts and runs well.

Got it home and on the ground. First thing to deal with is the shifter. It is sort of nebulous and you really don't know exactly what gear you are in. But, it backed itself off the trailer under it's own power. One of the things that I find really interesting is that it appears to have the original windshield or an older replacement. It still has the in glass antenna in place.

I do believe that is an aftermarket glass, due to the info on that label.

I should mention that I'm not trying to pick the car apart. I wish my car came with a nice aftermarket windshield and not the cracked/foggy original, lol.

No problem at all. I haven't seen a replacement windshield in years with the antenna actually in there. I just assumed it was older.

This thing is truly a pile that we are working back in to a track car and possibly on the street at some point. No offense taken to anything on this thing. I bought it right knowing that it was pieced together.
