I bought this car from the original owner in Seattle Wa. Since then I have gone through just about the whole car. It started with a engine rebuild and the replacement of all the suspension bushings as well as the shocks. The rest of the mods I will list below from oldest to newest:

--Big Bore engine rebuild
--Weber 2 barrel Carb conversion
--Fuel Injected Head (bigger exhaust valves)
--IPD Sway bars front and rear
--Crane XR700 electronic points conversion
--Vintage Performance Stage 2 Header
--Vintage Performance Variable rate springs up front and single rate in the rear
--KYB shocks all around
--17"x7.5" Silver Canisto wheels with Michelin Pilot 225/45/17
--Isky cam(VV71) otherwise known as the IPD street performance cam
--Electric cooling fan conversion
--Crane HI-6 ignition box
--Ford Mustang T5 5 speed transmission
--Custom one piece driveline

This has been a labor of love and time. I have never had much money at any one time and it has taken me many years to save up for each of these parts.

I now need to have some minor body repair done and get a really high quality paint job as I intend on keeping this car forever!

I don?t yet have pictures of the car with the wheels and tires. I will post these ASAP.

These are my wheels which are
original equiptment on C70's.

Damn that thing's sharp! I love what you've done with it! I've been wanting a set of those wheels forever, I love'm. So what's next for it? I see you mention FI head, but they have larger intake valves(44mm vs 42), the exhaust valves are 35mm on all street b20 heads. Also, what made you go with the DGV weber? Are you going to be swapping that out for something more performance oriented any time soon? Keep it up man! Feel free to swing by my pages sometime. Later, Kyle
