This car drives well, handles tight like it’s on a track! Minor body modifications and cowl hood with side pipes complement the extensive powertrain supension and interior alterations. It would cost 3x my reserve price to do this car over again! Save yourself the hassle of a lengthy project with a shop and buy it finished!
