I picked up an '87 T model about a year ago. It has something like 270,000 miles on it. It still runs like a champ. I am trying to talk my old hen into letting me rebuild it.

It needs a paint job but, it runs great. The main problem I am having is, when I fill up, the inside of the car smells like fuel real bad. Anyone know why this is and, how I can fix it?

Welcome! If there is a fuel leak I would get the checked up ASAP!!! Thats something that the old hen can't really get mad at.......

I don't know if it's a fuel leak. It only does it when, I fill it up. Guess, I'll get in there and check it out this weekend.

ANyone have any good ideas on, what I can due to optimize performance? I was thinking it, would make a good drift car.
