Very nice! It has potential. Power brakes, are they disc? The 4 lugs are interesting. Was it a 6 cyl? Is it missing the heater? The body looks pretty solid and interior looks decent. What are your plans.

Yea, im going to start making my plans soon. I might want to convert it to a V6, might be my daily driver so gas might be an issue.

Welcome. Looks like a nice car.

I would suggest one of the first items on your list being an "export brace".

Are the front rims 4 or 5 bolt?
