I've come to like them too, for reasons linked in first post. Anyway, here she is sneaking into work, when I put disc brakes on the front back in January. (I made....severe mistakes when I tried changing the pads on the front drums. Oh well, an excuse to add the discs.)

The car also has factory AC, but a previous owner seems to have removed all the engine bay components....even the valve that shuts off hot water! The vacuum reservoir remains though, so the heat works. Granted, the factory-form car probably made like 80hp gross with that old AC running... |

Exhaust system is failing, so decided to do the Dutra system. Just got the manifolds put on, and decided to sand blast and paint the intake while I was at it. Next week I'll get a shop to finish the pipes and such...
