I had some time today to look over the car a little better. It is going to need ALL new brake lines as well as some under hood harness replacement. I took it out for a road test before taking it apart to see how bad the wheel hop is. Holy hop Batman is all I can say. As soon as you step on the gas it breaks the tires loose and shakes violently.
Another thing I found today after I drove it (steering wheel seemed off to me) is this. I did not even think it was possible to screw this up...
Here is the steering wheel with the steering box centered. Notice the position of the mark (180 degrees out)
Now this is even better, here is the steering wheel centered. How someone did this is way beyond me. Notice the mark compared to the steering wheel. How in the world could anyone clock the wheel that far out?
Here is the trans stamp, it's an M20
The rear axle code...
The cowl tag...
