      Sorry mang; I meant that it needs a serious cleaning.

        Nah. They was on my 88. I took em off and put em on the 86. I think they look way better than those white wall tires with hubcaps. LOL.

        And I'll remember the name of that color. I thought about painting it Flat Black but the color aint so bad

              No argument there. I do not care for hubcaps all that much. I really hate when they rattle and squeak though.

                Well I changed the disc rotors on it from the 88. Mine was all scared up. Now the brakes are locked down on it. It was very hot when I pulled it in the driveway. I'm not sure if its the Master cylinder or the Calibers. Its the two front brakes that was very hot. There isnt some kind of difference in the 88 Merc brakes to the 86 Vic is there? And plus I think its out of timing. Whats the timing that these cars are set on?

                    Yeah. I still gotta get those pictures of it clean. LOL. I got the brake Calibers unstuck. I'm not sure if they are rusty from sitting for 2 years. But I took it up the rode and back and it did fine. I hope they don't stick again. That was hell trying to get back home last night going about 40 45 mph

                      just buy new calipers they are like $15.. stock timing is 10 BTDC, i would bump it up to atleast 12

                        Yeah. I got the ones off of my 88 so if it happens again I'll change em out. I got the timing pretty close to 10. Maybe 11. It runs alot smoother now

                              Fuck yea that cleaned up amazingly well!

                              How are the rear springs in the Merc? You may want to swap them in your Vic if you dont like the saggy ass. lol

                              In fact you may want to swap the differential as well considering you have 373's and posi traction in them.

                                Yeah. Someone has actually replaced all 4 shocks.

                                I thought about using the gears but I don't know. LOL. If someone waved money in my face they'd be gone. LOL

                                Yeah, I was impressed on how well it cleaned up. It would look really good if I waxed and buffed it out.
