Another update on this thread. Stripped the engine down to a long block so the students could tear it down in shop class. Check out the chunks of metal and intermix that blew back through the intake valves and into the intake runners! When they take this thing apart the damage will be epic! I will get pics when they do it.
Our car now has the convertible top, heated sport seats, OBC/gauges, tires/wheels and aftermarket stereo from donor car. Also has been polished up a bit and looking better! She's a bit dirty in the pic but you get the idea....
