The Cruise Control only works Part-Time, and is hooked up to the original controls on the steering column.

Yes, the Air cleaner is tied on, It was rattling and I wanted to keep it from getting lost... That is 12ga wire wrapped around the manifold to keep it in place it worked quite well.

The exhaust is loose somewhere near the front, I cannot tell where.


Acceleration is as good as I can tell, this is the standard D so it is a bit slow(as to be expected). From what I can tell the engine is in good shape. My friend's dad is was a mechanic in Bulgaria, apparently his specialty was these cars but he has NO tools here.. He said the engine sounded good, But needed a Valve Job.

I think the steering wheel may be aftermarket as well.
