Since then, I have a 1776cc and some twin kadron carbs, I added a 68 ball joint front end with 71 and up disc brakes, with porsche drilled rotors up front, and am toying with IRS conversion in the rear.

Rebuilt all the side windows, added safari's, and redone the front bench, and added new seals all around.

added a little polish

I have treated all the doors and roof area's, and am just building a new wiring harness, and getting the doors re-keyed.
Hope to have her running the next month or two.

Hid's rock thou. and the 130w Vision x fogs are awsome.
