Re: She's a brick.....house
That's the plan,but I might wait until after winter. NY winters suck. I might just cut some springs in the meantime because I'm tired of staring SUV owners in the face
Still trying to decide on a set of wheels.

Finally got Vivian back and it feels way more solid with the brembos and redone breaking system.
TBH, I wish it was a manual,but this thing is just so fun regardless. It's not fast in any sense of the word,but I was driving around the adirondacks today and it was holding its own,definitely has a different feeling than the Z. I can't help,but smile when my little 79 wagon trudges past a modern day car.
With that said it has me looking at upgrading the cam,going catless and a straight pipe
