124378N then its your production #.


Is the engine block and heads original? Get a pic of the pad on the passenger side front of the block just below the head.

Whats the casting number on the block and the casting date? Can you get a pic of the fuel line down near the engine mount?

It won't matter for a few years, but will 15x7s work with Polyglas L60s? I want to go bias-ply when the radials go bad. I know bias tires aren't as good handling, but I also know they aren't as evil as some make them out to be.

Here's some new pictures of it. Now they're HD because I figured out my camera (you'd think a 15 year old would know how to mess with the settings immediately. Nope- took 5 years of having the camera to realize how to set it to 1080p)
