This car has been sitting in a barn for the last few years and was pulled out into the field this last summer. I had forgotten allabout it until I saw it while driving past in August. I called up the owner and hauled it home Sunday.
The Bad: Rats nests, mangled engine wiring, a cracked windshield (but very useable) and some mild body damage.
The Good: No rust, 5-Speed tranny cover, plastic tank, 900 rear axle, Riken alloys.
The Plan: Spring Green w/ Black Nike Stripe. stock B202T w/ 5-speed, 86 vents, refinish the Rikens, Turbo springs. SAS airdam?
Pretty basic.

Awesome John! Looks like a pretty good shell too. The Spring Green with the stripe is a great choice.
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off

Re: 1980 99 Rescue
Thanks! It should be a fun build!
Turns out that it's one of the first 99's I ever saw in Boise when I moved here in '92.
It seems to have 9 lives!
