The bonnet is off being painted, I hope to have it back before I get the car running.
Car came with a hard top and side curtains.
I also got a set of American Racing Libre 4 spoke wheels (think they are 13x5's) so that I could put a bit better rubber on it. (not much attractive in the stock width)
I do know that the interior will have to be addressed down the road. The seat foam is coming apart and its just worn and musty.
It has a wood dash in it now, but I did get a stock dash with it to put in the car. Behind the wood dash I see dangling wires and basically, a mess. So, it will need an electrical overhaul.
The car is living in my mother in laws shed. (shed is such a small word for an out building larger than a two car garage though...) Thank living in an apartment and the DC real estate market for that one!
Next time up to the car I intend to investigate what is there and what isnt and take a ton of pictures. This will be my wifes first time involved with a project car aside from helping do some small things on an autocross Miata. She was educated to be a museum curator, so this sucker's gonna be documented.
This isnt going to be an engine/suspension swap project. It's just too nice for that and its almost there to be a great runner.
The basic plan rundown is as follows:
Electrical: dive into the wiring harness and probably replace it with new.
Brakes: see what is needed to make them work and do it. (still has drums F&R).
Motor: wire, plumb, get it to run.
Interior: Seatbelts might be nice, plus foam that isnt falling apart. Slowly return to original?
From there, I might do the following mods.
front tilt bonnet (I am 6'2", too many head clangs as stock)
Front swaybar
Increase springs
Adjustable lever shocks? (hey, they work for the H-prod racers)
Front disc swap
But thats in the future. Money goes towards making it run and drive for now. Then making the car a nice place to be for a drive. I doubt it will see more than weekend drives and the occasional autocross (I have an STS Miata daily, and an ESP Mustang in storage)
