I ordered a new custom cam for the ol' Bird, and that's it.

I'm taking the Bird down for new Nitto 555 tires today. Maybe do the u-joints if the rain stops. We'll see about that later.

Drove it to work for the first time in a couple months, after replacing the head gasket over the weekend! (Thanks for the help, Bro!)

Also, replaced the coil & dist cap, & set the timing.... Now it's fun to drive again!!
stock (mostly) '88 TC, slowly deteriorating....

I pretty much cursed it then started soaking turbo bolts with PB Blaster so I can pull it on Friday.

Looked at it sadly sitting in the side yard, all shined up with an orange 'For Sale' sign in the window.
Garage is empty of 4 wheeled projects, at the moment.....

Its a temp/perm fix to my air pressure problem underneath on the bumper. Had some running hot problems since switching to the smaller Ranger Rad/Volvo fmic setup.

Ordered Stingers pimp/coupler kit for the Volvo FMIC because I dont have the time or patience to sit there and piece something together.

Heres a good one..past few days my dash voltmeter was acting a lil funky but I didn't think much of it since its notoriously known for being inaccurate. Well on my way to work the alternator decided to take a dump. So while waiting for the tow truck I unbolted to the bad one with the cop watching me lol. Currently waiting for mine to be rebuilt hopefully today so I can drive it home. Didnt really have time to do the 3g upgrade maybe one day when it breaks at home.

I have had a Leaky manifold since I bought the car, after this past week it is all fixed. Needed to get my manifold planed because it was slightly warped. This album of mine, has pictures of the job, along with several other things I have done.
While I had the manifold off, I decided to take a airtool with several stone bits and a nice 120grit sandpaper wheel and went at it. I took away all the ridges and bumps, can't tell that well from my horrible pictures but it really made a difference.
