This is my latest project that I purchased in May 2007. It's a 1988 Formula 350. It has
only 73k original miles but it needs a lot of miscellaneous work to be brought up to date.

Condition as purchased
The car needs brakes, rear wing, suspension work, exhaust, and just about every "wear"
item replaced. The previous owners did not take care of it. The interior is faded and needs new seat covers
and carpet. Otherwise the car is 100% original. The body is extremely straight and rust free. Like a true
Formula, options aren't many but they do include a/c (a must in Florida), power windows and locks, tilt steering, cruise
control, and power hatch release.

Current Progress:
Engine was rebuilt as a 355. Nothing serious as far as performance goes other than a
larger cam, 30 over pistons, Eagle Rods, double roller chain, poly engine mounts, roller rockers, and an upgraded ignition
system. Hooker headers were added along with a complete performance exhaust system and a fresh air intake system,
including new high flow TPI base, runners, and ported plenum and SVO 24# injectors and a custom chip. All new suspension
and brakes were added too along with a rebuilt steering column. I'm expecting the car to be ready for paint in Fall
of this year (2009).
