Very nice! Was the wing hard to install and wire?

Isn't this a rhetorical question? Just look at the two.

nice work.

retro fit a/c - mmmmmmm, that got me thinking, i'd love a/c in my '86.

i love the front and the rear - agreed on the "spoilerless" look - dury's out on the side skirts.

Nice looking car! Ive never seen that type of body kit before, me likes very different and unique. My favorite is the front bumper.
Thanks for the pics.
Clint

O ya... the Aero mirrors would look good

Aero mirrors would go well with this setup.

"...adding a warm up regulator, auxiliary air valve, air lines, fuel dome and flash valve (removing the need for my hand throttle)"

Weren't the warm-up regulators added and the hand throttles removed starting with the 1976 model years? Or was that only in North America?

PS... nice car

May I ask what the benefit of the electric spoiler is on your 77.Is it for cooling, to keep your rear end down.

Very nice improvements. I love Silver, it looks excellent!
Great Job, but stick with the flag mirrors IMOP?

Thanks for the pics and have a great day!

Finally, Erwin! Must feel good to be behind the wheel.

Car looks great! What's the A/C like now? Maybe I should put mine back in...

Mine had a hand throttle, and had problems with cold starts. The "upgrade" fixed it.

It's more to keep the rear end down on the freeway (without a spoiler, the car felt less stable) but I guess it also helps to keep teh engine cool too.

I had it professionally installed - the mating of the latches were the difficult bit as they don't match, as were the electrical relays. There was time wasted with experimenting with different wiring setups.
