History
I bought the car off a used car lot. It had been a trade in that was a theft recovery. The whole top frame was busted all up, the glass window was ... Show moreshattered, every panel had been kicked in and surface rust had started along the moldings. Besides the cosmetic condition though, the car was mechanically in great condition, and exactly what I was looking for.
Restoration and Upgrades
Body
The first thing I did was get a damage assessment. Almost all the panels were striped and straightened. There were atleast 9 layers of paint. All the rusted areas were cut and fixed properly. Antenna and trunk rack were removed and holes welded in. Both doors were rehung and Saleen side skirts and front clip were added as well as a cobra grill insert and rear bumper.
Interior
I added a Momo millennium wheel with quick release hub and Momo cobra knob, these look great, and a Pro 5.0. Pro 5.0 shifters rule and I highly recommend this mod. New weather-stripping was installed, a must for older convertibles and a aftermarket headliner. Just added Sparco Roadster lightweight racing seats, new carpet and redone door panels
