Just want to add a page with a small list of things i plan to do to the car in the upcoming future, be it near or far!

- E7 heads, new valves, rockers, ported
- 8.8 rear end, renewed completely adding 4.10 gears
- exhaust headers that fit, maybe going unequal length long tube, or short tube
- window tint
- new interior, including all plastics, seats and carpets, short of that, i'm going to repaint the plastics, get slightly used but good seats (anything is better than the ghetto leaner seats i got now)
- GT wing with 3rd brake light hooked up and operational
- new struts in front, new shocks and springs in the rear
- Ultra racing 5 star rims, polished to a high gleem
- fresh gloss black paint, keeping the chrome trim OR going flat black paint and painting the chrome trim
- new cowl hood, functional preferably
- capri RS front clip (cause it looks bad-ass)
- aluminum drive-shaft

in the far future (maybe closer than i think) i plan to pull the motor and renew ALL gaskets, maybe get it bored 0.30 over to 306, new pistons, rods, bearings, crank, camshaft. and maybe go EFI. i know a couple guys that have everything i'll need to run it

so thats kinda it for now, i'll add more when i think of anything later.

I plan to take the rear end out of my 81...god rest her soul...and place it in this car...it has 4:11 gears and positraction. Since I am increasing the power I'll need to make sure I can stop...so I plan to upgrade to disk brakes all the way around..Hopfully I can find bigger but lighter rotors....
