Thank you! I can't wait to start putting my 83' together but I am about to start tearing into the 93 again to do some revisions 
. Don't have the money to do what I want with the 83' (4.6/auto swap and 94+ interior swap) so I guess I can get the other ready for next season....back in Indiana so no more year round driving like in Texas lol.... and something in the engine let go so it is currently parked and awaiting dissection to find out what....

Lol thanks. The rear was already swapped to 5 lug and I didn't have any good 4 lug wheels anymore so those were my only choice. Bought the 10 holes with the DR's just for the DR's....then sold them before I ever got to use them lol.
If you are wondering why the front was cut off.....a previous owner had slammed the front end and then attempted to clip it but they could not measure or weld....but they did some work with bondo to cover up their garbage work in the engine bay. Well all that came back off so I could fix their crappy bubble gum welding and non existant measuring....
just click the link in my sig to find out the whole process and more pics lol

Thanks. Had 10 miles on it when I bought it. It is a very late 88 that had the 89 style plastic hood rod clip and the sticker on the radiator was a E9 part number. It was built on July 29 1988 which is usually about the time that they switch to the next model year production.
Next year she will be 25 and will get antique tags

no way for them to really check....just sayin' lol...HOWEVER if you were to get into an accident or a ticket in a place it isn't supposed to be then they can say something....I forget the actual law with them but it has something to do with not being a to work and school car...just car shows and such....
....Sorry
