Last time I weighed it.......3360 with around 50Lbs of tools, and at least 50lbs of subwoofer/box/and amp.... and 1/2 tank of fuel. My best guess is that If I took all that out and dropped it to about 1/4 tank, it would be right around the low 3200's.
I just looked back at my mod list......Jesus i spend too much money......LOL

Thats very true.... but I have to do something about the rust issues this year. i've waited too long as it is. Its getting bad around the rear wheel wells and at the bottom of the doors. if i don't do something this year, there won't be any point in modifying the car further. At that point I'd be looking for a clean roller.

I Just got quoted on body work - paint ( I can shoot paint). 400 Bucks. Not too bad. Now, I need to get ahold of the gook with that RFL BOV, get my center stack trim back from Radio Docter and have Nate put in a wideband bung for me. 29th thru the 4th its going under the knife, so you all will see it around sometime after that!
