Blacknose was quite the beast,I did several $5 mods.
That is $5 worth of hardware and what have you.
Here is a stainless belly pan,and air pickup made from an old BBQ hood.

Some R Sport Boost Goodness for the 83.
OE Goodies
A bit of help for the 82 turbo fire wall harness.

5 New Falken Ziex 912's in 195-65-15 on Polished Virgos provide a balance of grip, fuel economy,and ground clearance.

A bit of butt cheek R & R on the 83.
Since it's wintertime the drop light is underneath warming the metal so the paint goes off properly.

Rattlecan!
Don't worry.
It's inside,and it's epoxy.
The 82 turbo came with quite a few IPD items.
Scored a 90 245 flush glass liftgate in color #189 white on 30% off body panels week at the JY.
