Built by myself and as far as possible from factory! haha

My work in progress street/track car. Last year I redid the engine for a gain of roughly 75-100hp and updated the interior with 4th-gen seats, console and all new gauges. This winter I did the rest of the driveline retrofitting a T56 6-speed with a new flywheel, clutch, shifter, driveshaft and 4.10 gears. I also rebuilt the front suspension with poly bushings and lowering springs, and wedged the subframe with solid body mounts and welding in connectors.

Next comes a rear overhaul with new leaf springs, caltracs, disc brakes and moser axles. It also needs some body work at some point. Wheels are also on the list, and there is a 400 SBC for sale locally calling my name.
