  • Rewiring: horn, revese lights, turn signals
  • Choke lines hooked up to butterfly valve in Carb.
  • maintainance on heater core
  • Door/ rear window seals
  • New bumpers?

  • Replace 14" wth 15" rims
  • Rewiring: radio, antenna, door sensors
  • Refurb interior: tran tunnel, dash cover, door handels, visors
  • Upholster seating/ new seats?
  • Fabricate rollbar for single-carb setup
  • Clean engine bay
  • All fluids replaced
  • Front lip
