i am getting closer to finishing my 85 tri-z restore. I ordered 300$ worth of oem parts but it has been about 2 weeks now and they are still not in. they said they are held up because there is 2 bushings they forgot to send. they are stopped at a yami dealer. but i still need a few more pieces i just got all the small things oem.
when i get the parts i will have the front complete. and all of the rear exept rear bearings. I spent 165 on the swinger and linkages. had to plastic weld the rad cover they are so hard to find for a reasonable price! but it is smooth from sanding and it will hold until i find some.

its a gm yellow because i have a 2002 chevy zr2 that is yellow and i figured what the hell yellow is yellow its a bit darker that yami but also the plastic is faded a bit but i sanded most of it out and got all the oxydation off it was horrible like 1/16 inch
