uh yea lots of rex cars had head mount ... only the few late model 9 series w/ rex and the AIR injection got the block mount
and stock cloth seat (90') i just threw a seat cover on it so keep it from getting dirty from my junkyard runs
and yes my ghetto ass dual exhaust tip i made just for the hell of it

Is that a tailgate strut?

that tailgate strut can't be doing anything beneficial there.....it's too soft isn't it?

cuts down on vibration huge ... car used to shake bad @ idle .. and now its pretty smooth so
otherwise compression test is good, plus, cap rotor wires are all new, injectors swaping around doesn't change anything but eh .. runs great once the car is moving just shakes bad @ idle ..

block mount 7/9 series cars are pretty rare, and ones that have regina like that are uber rare(never heard of or seen one as the regina coil wire is really long)

Thoes trunk shocks are surprizingly strong. It's a great idea kind of like a shock for your suspention, you can push it in but the point is that you can't rapidly move it in and out just like a shock on your car.... unless you are running 250k old original shocks.
