Skib Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 been slowly collecting turbo parts for the L28 and few other things. have a 79 only 135 pmh speedo coming and I scored a nice fix back bucket seat from 280zx@541 :lol: other than that just been cleaning shit up. its had some suuuuper cheap shit house plug wires and shit in it, autolight plugs ect. so I finally got my NGK plug wires in the mail (cuz according to the parts store they dont exist :rolleyes: ) along with new cap, rotor, NGK plugs and a new coil. running smooth now and engine bays looking alot nicer. when I got it the underside of the hood, cam cover, AFM, airbox and heat shield where all painted orange. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
