okay so I got into this project by accident and now i dont have the room for it anymore. I really dont want to scrap it it's way too clean. Im reposting some of the text from dippy.org where it was posted before.
From dippy -
Okay guys here goes. THis is my car. 49,000 miles give or take, I believe im the third owner. The last guy had it converted to a stick shift but hammed it up real bad. I bought it because it was in great shape and honestly, how many 2 dr manual trans Diplomats have you ever seen? I never even saw a 2 door at all until I saw this car!
I managed to blow up the trans on the fourth day I had it out and when we pulled it for a rebuild I got to see how much of a mess the conversion really was. I reinstalled the trans and left it like that, rather then put more time into fixing the conversion. I don't want to scrap the car but I need to get rid of it. Trust me, I would really rather do a V8 conversion on it.
So there you go. I have a bunch of pics from the car.
