yeah atomic has tons of cool stuff and the owner rocks,... i haven't worked on an 8 valve for awhile, with its 1.6 liter engine i'll have some raw power thats for sure, and as far as "points" for distributor i'm gonna have to study up cause i know nothing about them other than doesn't use haul sender. only 2 downfalls to the car, no rearview mirror which is an easy fix, and no horn, the horn will need investigated. all in all i think i paid a little much but got a decent deal runs and drives well and only 55,000 true miles.

If the car is as nice as you say it is, I'm sure you got your moneys worth. It's as rare as can be to find one with less than 75k and in really good shape.

I've been looking for the right one for the last 2 years and haven't found it yet.

Get some pics up!

sounds sweet, cant wait to see some pics...good idea though on keeping it oem and beautiful sometimes thats even better then modding the hell out of it
