Black & gold is so over played it makes my head hurt! Silver looks **** on these cars. There was also a very cool blue in like 77 or 78. White is ok too
Get the AC working (maybe wait for EFI on that).
How does the metal under the t-top gaskets look?
If that fan doesn't keep up in the heat look at 4th gen fans. Fit right in.
Look at that fancy 81 only console. No map pocket - that is where the stock ECM was located.
TAs have excellent resale. Can't wait to see progress |
Thanks for the info. We will keep these wheels and stock tire sizes (maybe go a touch wider if desired. For the doors, I've watched a few vids where they say the pin can oval the whole making them junk. Won't know until we take it apart!
As for color, I think going off the normal path is where we want to be with this. The fan did look rather small so we will see how it does.
The AC looks to be gutted so I will have to see how far they went with it. The car currently has no t-top seals ("Was ready for paint" LOL). We will put the seals on after it's painted but metal looks good.
