Right now i'm waiting for the old summit parts pile to arrive from ordering it on the 10th of march

The process is taking a bit longer than i thought because the bellhousing was cracked almost 1/2 way around and the clutch was shot so i'm on parts hold right now. I got the bellhousing and 10.5" clutch ready flywheel instead of the now toast stock 10" clutch.
Also the weather in washington is sucking pretty bad so i've worked in 30* weather, rain, and mixes in between
For suspension, i may or may not replace the rear control arms, but i've installed the 90/10 struts and 4 cyl. front springs and need to install the rear springs. Also the front sway bar has been removed.

I'm trying to get this pile on the road but every time i fix it, something else breaks or "needs improvement". Luckily i'm doing all this work now in the bad weather because the track is closed during rain anyway.

Thanks to everyone following along, i promise that this thing will run in the next few months, but i'm optimistic it'll run in the next few weeks. I took my Cobra out, now it's time i run the trash can.
