Hm.. .it runs and I'll drive it... but bad brakes, drivetrain problems, exhaust leaks, missing lugnuts lol etc makes it necessary to have a "yea but my **** is ghettorigged" option

Mine is running. I'm going to clean the rubber off the quarters and take off the parachute tonight so I can drive it to work tomorrow.

The Monte is running and driveable! Got about 200 miles now on the new ZZ4-cammed 355 TPI motor. I like it. Need to do it's first oil change, put on the bellhousing/clutch shield, change one burnt plug wire, and tighten up the oilpan bolts.

Haven;t driven the 97 since oct.2001 when i blew the motor in Bowling Green and decided to make it fast.Its been at Bob Kaspers for a year and a half, almost done then i just have to wire the motec. The 84 runs great, just being held hostage at Vanishing Point since Christmas. The 95 Formula is at the shop getting a new fuel pump fo the last 3 weeks. Would have done it myself but my garage is occupied by my cousing 92 RS that i took apart over the winter and have been too busy to finish
