Shalamara March ROTM WINNER
Congratulations to Shalamara our March Ride Of The Month
SHALAMARA
Bought our 78 in 2011 as a project knowing it will take a few years to get done as most of my work on it is in the winter.
Brought it home on a trailer
The first thing I did was fix the exhaust as what was on there hit the frame and dumped under the seats, had such an odor you could not drive the car without getting sick.
Next was the interior
I then took of the air shocks, put standard shocks on and then New tires and wheels
New speakers and stereo added
We just had the rear end done. 2.42 gears taken out and 3.42 posi put in. Wow, what a difference,actually fun to drive now.
We still plan on a new motor when money is available, and last will be new paint. Body and paint have been left till last as I don't want to mess up a new paint job when putting in a new motor
Thanks for those who chose to vote for me!!
