what size tires
"My '80. I got it in 2001 for $800, swapped in a 360, 8 3/4 and painted it from white to black. Unfortunately the years of daily driving has taken it's toll and the front and rear frame rails are completely rusted out. I parted it out last fall and am swapping all the parts to a clean '81 Cordoba body I found. I'm hoping when it's finished this year it'll look exactly the same again."
Thats a shame. I remember coming across those first two pictures years ago when I got my first Mirada. That was one mean looking car. I was thinking about doing the same wheel and tire combo on mine. Nice to hear that your going to recreate it.
I am glad to see some one put a 4spd in a J body, I've collected some of the parts, trannies, pedal assembly, 4spd hump....etc, at some point I'd like to convert mine. It's cool to see another from the Atlantic Provinces on here.
Hey buck maybe start a thread on your project, I want to see the 4spd swap.
