The shots on the left side are the before pictures. These pics where taken on Sep 5, 2005.

The shots on the right side are the after restoration pics.

You can see in this shot that the original rims were imitation Empi.

The rims were replaced with 4-lug fuchs.

This shot shows the car originally had painter rear bumper.

This shows the new chrome bumper.

When I got this car, it didn't have the rear valance.

This shows the new rear valance attached.

Again, originally the car had painted bumpers.

This shows the new front chrome bumper, without the rubber tits.

Here's a shot of the engine, minus the carbs.

The engine was rebuilt, with the correct webcam 86a, for carbs, rebuilt 40 idf webers and MSDS electronic ignition and distributor.

The interior had a lot to be desired.

This shows the driver's door, mold on the panel and missing the arm rest.

Rear trunk in reasonably good shape.

Only minor clean up and painted.

Another fine example.

This shows the battery tray and hell hole.

There was minor rust repair to the hell hole and the battery tray was replaced. An Optima battery installed.

Interior shot. The dash top had a plastic cover. After removing the cap, I found the dash top badly cracked.

The dash top was replaced with an uncracked one. The instrument on the floor is the CHT, I didn't want to cut up the dash to install it.

Installed reupholstered seats.

Another interior shot showing the mold on the back pad.

This shows the new back pad and center arm rest.
