I am making some changes to the the 85 gray(1B) car. I have been using it mainly for autocross but have some upgrades planned. Recently I fixed the rear quarter panel damage from a trailer blowout and figured out I have some wear in the passenger side control arm and it needs brakes, so on go the parts! I have parts put back for the road car but don't want to miss autocross this year. So here's my plan and I'll start with the body and suspension. Pics to come this weeekend. I have a few missing parts, if you have them let me know. Make comments, ask questions and make suggestions please....

I have tires and wheels that I got from Pat. I have used them once and there is some question on the tire condition based on their age. They are being heat cycled to see if it helps them. I have some questions yet to be answered, like will my diff cover interfer with the watts link? Do I need a 1" rear bar instead of the 3/4"? What will my spring rates be on this car and setup? (hopefully Jack will see this and respond) And some big questions on engine condition now after an incident last year? More to come..........Doug and Dave can't have all the fun!
