Two forklifts was used to set body on chassis with new poly bushings..chassis was sanded to the metal, primed and painted twice..firewall of body and under hood sprayed with wrinkle plus paint..body has no rust inside and out..very solid car..under car is clean like brand new. .alot of new parts came with the car which made it a sweet deal..

I like this set up..the obx headers have a lifetime warranty now..does anyone know if the welds are better and thickness of gauge?

These heads where already tapped for these fittings by previous owner so I had to take measurements and get parts from hydraulic house. .
