Ain't it fun to have it purring again after a frustrating experience of trying to get it right?

Its hard to drive with no brakes. I just emailed dennis about the granada swap. It sounds very very angry and I love it. There are a couple holes in the exhaust and it only has glassbacks, so its really loud.

After all the work and all the frustration, This is one of the top 10 days of my life!

I'm really really excited. I'm looking forward to a busy day tomorrow to get the rear brakes started and continue to finish things up.

I just got a little bummed out. It doesn't look like the Granada Swap will work with the aftermarket 14" rims I have. I guess its time to start looking at other brake kitsor possibly upgrading to 15's.

It depends on which 14" aftermarket wheels you are talking about. Dennis tells me that my Mag 500's may possibly be OK. I need to go to Austin soon to see what gives.
