Mods Intro
Initially I had intended to simply paint the car
black, and replace visible exterior parts that were worn
(Head-lights, tail-lights, door-handles, and emblems) as well as
bolt up some Turbine rims with new rubber. The loan I received
to cover the job was twice what I expected, and I ended up
purchasing a road-race suspension, and V8 swap parts (T5, 3.73
8" posi) instead of paint.
