lol yea it's not going to win any awards (unless it's one of those "worlds ugliest dog" type of event). It's been hit numerous times, has some rust popping up, and could use a motor rebuild (390k miles) and lots of body work.
This was my first car and I still own it. I've learned soooo much with it I just can't give it up.

The 3gee has cold a/c, 28 mpg, a thumping system (that's why I have the 49 battery), a nice comfortable interior, and eveything works.... maybe not as good as new, but it all works.

One day I may throw down some $ and fix it properly. For now my $ will be going into my 66 mustang and I have the Crown Vic as a backup car.

I need a sticker that says Rice Rocket where Rice is crossed out and Rat is written in

POS, I don't think I've ever seen your car. You definitely have a German flair going on. I'd be interested in learning how you put the e-brake handle in. The Saab interior is epic and the A/C vents are LOL funny.

Never let it be said that the 3geez community doesn't have a lot of creativity and a certain disregard for convention.

Ideally you would use treated lumber, or at least put a water sealer on it to keep it from rotting. But my car hardly ever leaves the garage anymore and I was feeling lazy.

Yes POS carb that is an A20 intake manifold, the flange actually matches perfect but I modified it. I started out just taking of some material so it would be easier to access the mounting nuts then I decide to sans the egr system completely, also removed some bumps and uglys.

I have an old Nikki RX7 4-bbl I got off ebay for a penny, I've been itching to do that with it, I just don't know if the jetting would be good as is because tuning jets are expensive/hard to find for these. It's a small 4bbl so I think it would work well. Just gotta get around to it I guess. I think it would look good under the hood of my Rat Rocket

Ah yes, the stick-in-the-door to hold up the broken regulator. My sister's '86 did that and we used the same technique. I think Honda fixed that one by '89 because mine has never had a problem. Did you put the panel back on? How do you pay bridge tolls and parking attendants now?
