    Ok so the front end is re-built...the Disc brake swap is done...the tranmission is working well...the car runs like a r...d ape.Still have to do the core support replacement thing and put a good radiator in it... I have all the parts to do it just need the time.So today I thought I would just play with the car a bit...nothing serious which means...I didnt spend any money on it today...LOL...The engine compartment really is/was a mess.Looked like a hack job and an eye sore so I cleaned it up a bit.
    Heres a few pics...
