Been a long bit. Updates. Car had sat for about 6 months, gonna be receiving love soon ish. I'm moving and took the car out for it's first drive which was scary. As those 6 months have made the master cylinder stick horribly. But no issues, just needs a little tune up, but by god was it fun to drive. Been working on my side project daily driver VW Cabriolet I've had a few months now. But it's gonna soon be time to put some money into the Bonneville soon. Moving in with my significant other will make this nice as they like working on cars too. Cheers to you all. Will post more soon. Here's hoping I can rewire it once I move. It needs windows. Stay safe, and have a wonderful drive.

Little update. Car has been sitting and started every week or so. Going smoothly. Did end up putting the original carburetor back on as the replacement didn't wanna tune right. Did however clean the original one. Hope everyone has been doing well. Found a place with parts for the body but it's been rough not having income. The GoFundMe I have hasn't done very well either. Gonna start posting more updates as soon as I make them. Got a muffler on it and am gonna hopefully get it welded soon. I want a proper exhaust system that doesn't leak. Happy cruising ~Maxwell

I also think that I need to remove the printed circuit board and clean it properly as it looks really badly corroded on all the contacts

I fixed the factory exhaust for now. Was tired of dealing with it. I'll get some more welding on it when I can get it higher up in the air. Am turning towards getting dash lights and stuff working. Found my issue and the replacement part. Couldn't get the speedometer cable off and didn't wanna break it. How does it come off. I did get some LED bulbs but they didn't work for some reason.

Most of those logs go out the very back at an angle. I'd use them if it wasn't for the fact that that dump angle.... Points right at my oil filter.

I think I'd rather try the shorty headers vs them. Nothing is specific. But I did measure and from everything I measured it should fit. Otherwise I may just make some custom stuff. Or find a diy header kit to make my own and find a shop

I think I found a set that would fit. Headman 28164 street rod block hugger tork-step headers for Pontiac https://www.jegs.com/i/Hedman/500/28164/10002/-1?gclid=CjwKCAjw5NqVBhAjEiwAeCa97cUYvkWxGuq_7XZsAISZJEt1mA3mgiY_E3LrCdOUiQowToP2EP9knxoC9PkQAvD_BwE I think that should fit in my space.

I did notice that it may be a bit of a fun time finding something that fits with the oil filter right there.

I'm after a 2.5 in preferred exhaust diameter. Max 3 but the mufflers I have liked are 2.5in. also what would you recommend for a set of shorty headers. If there's no long tubes that'd fit

After climbing in the dark as I just peeked here. I've got 4x 4h d port heads. Not sure what exhaust options I've got. May just throw the factory one on just for now just to have it back on the ground. Factory exhaust that is.

Could you send a link for the exhaust manifolds? I'll look into those. Also would these fit at all? https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/30065/10002/-1?gclid=CjwKCAjwwdWVBhA4EiwAjcYJEAyYn7iUC2M0xraNVACd05oyr31UbykfGU0zmCv9CPlT_rbhyQjAcxoCtIIQAvD_BwE Or are they out of the question? Also mind sharing a clip of what Lucy sounds like

Can someone decipher these?

Question. From factory would I have round port or d port heads? Am looking at headers.

I'm being given some funds to fix the entire exhaust issue. Anyone know where I could get some headers, decent ish mufflers that have a good sound but aren't droning. And something to clear the axle I'm looking for noise like that. Not quiet but not racecar level loud. I like both but can't have both without making it complicated.

Ok. So I'm having to do ghetto methods because I can't patch it properly. I'm using the little bit of steel stick jb weld for some holes cause I have had some success. What y'all think I should use cause I really can't get the window out myself and have no money or way to afford a shop. And I don't know anyone willing to come help me yank a window and do proper bodywork. I hate doing this to a classic car but I have no money or materials to fix it properly right now. And I doubt anyone on the forums would go "let me come help so it's done properly." And I'm not asking anyone to. Everything has been slow. Can't get the exhaust done, got to deal with holes and repairs. I've not had anyone donate to the GoFundMe for the car other than my one friend that did.
