Hmm,

Adjustable narrowed beam, adjustable rear spring plates, stroker, 36mm dual DRLA's, Extended sump, merged header....

Umm, that would be a good start.

All done by PO plus external oil filter.. the mechanics on this bug are very nice.. I will be going after some cosmetics and clean up the wiring.. though he did a decent job I want to make the wiring disappear as much as possible..

my first thing is to strip the interior and get the seats redone.. kill any rust
and do the pan in bedliner... new three point seat belts and built in speakers.
I'm, sure other things will crop up as I go.. ah yeah.. a tach..

Check under the back seat where the battery is for rust. That's one of the worst spots.. I would POR-15 it before putting any deadening material on it.

BTW, I want to hump your car. It's gorgeous.

I'd beware of the POR 15. I know most everybody swears by it but a co-worker of mine restores old GTO's and every car he used this stuff on the rust came through within a couple of seasons.... He's done his homework and is no stranger to bodywork, to him clean it up, fix it, replace it, then paint it. I've never used it though....

Edit: I love the car and am looking forward to seeing some progress

Same here. Everybody on the tex loves the stuff, but I've heard horror stories from local guys.
