Am I the only one posting to this thread!!

Finished all in the above list over the last few weeks

DROVE IT ALL WEEK LAST WEEK YAHOOO

Idle problem got worse so I followed some members advice and took out the ISV today and cleaned it, cleaned the throttle body, cleaned all of the electrical connectors for the ISV, TPS and AFM. Reinstalled and tightened all of the hose clamps.

Seems to have fixed the problem

any body know how much difference the angle on the windshield is on a cab vs. a coupe. additionally may think about a DE event this summer but have been told I need a rollbar. I want one that can be bolted in quickly and removes as I have several grandchildren who like to ride in the back seat of Papa's car

For anybody in Ohio I was able to get the Collector plates for this car. Don't know if it was worth the trouble as the state was nor very easy to work with. Mine was #1461 of just over 3,000 imported to the US. Anybody know how many are still out there?
