That'* an 89 that I got free from another member in PA. The body is in great shape although the paint is faded and it ran too. Some parts will be needed for the completion of Frankenbonny such as a near perfect left taillight and front bumper cover.

It'* always nice to have a spare... or two

At this rate you're going to get your L67 on the road before my turbo is complete.
(turbo is "on hold" for 2 weeks while mechanic is on vacation).

Very nice job guys

I tried a half hearted attempt to crank it over tonight and failed. I seem to have some sort of ground problem as the start enable relay didn't work properly. This led us to check the ground at the trans connector and there was none.

I'm traveling less for work so I'll have a chance to poke my nose in the books and be ready for fire-up this weekend. I've very excited!

Frankenbonne is up running and idling!!!

Wooo hooo it'* amazing once Randy hooked the vats up properly that (he didn't ground the module) that it works great. Odd thing we learned was that w/o vats you get enough fuel to start and idle for 3 seconds.
