Holy crap Dave make it into a super sleeper! Leave it looking exactly like it looks but do some seriously fun motor and drivetrain work. Surprise a lot of people! Or at least keep the paint scheme cuz thats sexy. I have lx tailpipes you can have for the same price I got them...
Freebie
hard with the 13 inch wheels..i though about leaving mine the way it is but once you here the cam its no longer a sleeper, like i said earlier big ass meats and brakes and about 400 hp with stock paint and a little rake. golden
Wow, that is one clean looking interior! I think I would preserve much of that interior as is (minus the wood grain which I would blackout) as it is too clean to change out IMO.
Personally I would do a 5.0 efi with HCI, tko500 5-spd, 8.8 (3.73) swap, 5-bolt SN brakes, weld rims, 82 or 86 nose with a deep impact blue paint job with blacked out Chrome. Then drive the tires off it!
Going to be a great project. Congrats!
Not ugly at all! When it's clean original, it's nice as hell. But if you insist in changing it, here's what I'd do to keep it stock but with a few minor upgrades.
1) flock the dash panels, replacing the wood grain. It would look like the SVO. (I did mine in grey: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6...4-Ic42/int.jpg)
2) Black carpet
3) Optional: Replace the black/white tweed in the middle of the seats for black to tie it all together
4) put a clutch pedal in there :D
Yup 5 lug with fat fr500's
I really dig the factory look of the car, Both inside and out.
Well I cant wait any more ugly duck need a heart transplant so lets get that boat anchor out!
