Thanks fellas. It feels good to work on the car again. Today was just doing a few odds and ends, putting the MGW shifter back on the trans, and getting the intake adapted and on. I ended up using a spare MAF bracket, cutting the tabs off of it, making a temporary bracket to hold it to the...

IRS install is completely worth it over a solid axle if you don't plan to track the car a lot at the strip.

Finally back down on the ground for the first time in about 9 months.

So since the last update I had not touched the car and it's been sitting collecting both dust & spare parts. Today I finally got off my butt and got the brakes done. I initially attempted to drill out the spindle holes to use the factory bolts but that seemed to take FOREVER. So I placed an...

Been dipping my toes into and out of both AMC and GME. So far so good. I learned my lesson about being greedy when I held onto NKLA for too long.

Absolutely one of my favorite wheels of all time.

Congrats!

Congrats on another project! How far torn down is the motor?

Any plans on having the paint redone at some point to restore the originality? Glad my build could inspire you to save this one. The more we keep on the road and out of the scrap yard the better IMO.

Just read through this thread and you have made a LOT of progress. Did you ever verify if it is a real Mystic?

So when a friend of mine told me about this thread I can honestly say I was shocked with how someone was cutting up an original '00 R. Now that I have read the thread I can honestly say this is a BADDASS build! More power to you sir for building your dream car.

I did matte black underneath mine before reinstalling the fuel system. Cleaned the underside up a lot IMO.

Great progress thus far! Glad to see you are saving it instead of parting it out.
