the car is amazing and i'm loving every minute of it! i've got a pretty big task ahead of me taking care of the exhaust issues as well as a tiny bubble of rust coming through the sunroof. looks like someone tried to repair it once before with a bad spray job. other than that i'm just driving it and having a blast!
I never noticed the rust bubble on the sunroof - it must be new.

The exhaust definitely must be done and soon. When it was federalized by idiots, the support that connects to the transmission was never replaced, so the only thing supporting the exhaust system after the manifolds are the rubber dounuts at the rear muffler.

What ever became of the external oil leak at the left-front side of the head gasket?

I sure like that car! Itīs really tight.
