I need to fix my oil pressure and temp gauges that stopped working on my lately.
WHEN I GET SOME MORE SPARE MONEY: FMIC setup is gonna happen so I can run more boost.
Body work and full repaint (engine bay included) when I get the money to do so. Colourchange of some sort is highly likely.
Engine rebuild in when I get the money for parts I want. hehe
New adjustable suspension, sooner than the paint and engine. Rear shocks are dead, need new stuff all the way around.

Cool car, I am actually looking into putting a T-coupe motor and T-5 in one of my Pintos. These cars can look pretty nice with little effort. Would like to check out the new paint when you get it done. How does this run??
