Lol,
 The thing might fit but I'd have to remove the lower engine shields and it was touching the rubber seal on the engine compartment

I'll trade you a stock set up for that pile of pipe and QP.
Let me know.
Mine is ready to bolt on...

Ok ghia is alive!,  drove it down the road,  unfortunately I let my 8 year old tighten the lug nuts and we had to turn around pretty quickly to get back to the house after the wheel started to make a racket,  replaced the throttle cable and even found the little thing the cable goes though at the carb,  engine bay is looking good.  Engine runs great.  Happy with the exhaust sound enough to sound good without being annoying.  Liking the stance with the coil overs

Sanded a little rust spot,  the layers of paint tell a story kinda like the rings in a tree trunk
Drive it to steak and shake,  longest trip it's been on so far and the 2nd with the new motor

Made it to work after having to roll it off at the y,  think the starter is to blame

How did you prevent overspray?

What's the second color?

Gonna go white on the roof,  gonna experiment with plastic dip,  just rattle canned the roof primer after sanding and repair rust spots,  the bondo and paint were thick
