Im the third owner, It was repainted about 9 years ago when the second owner first bought it, I haven't done a single things to it ive just put petrol in it and drove it. I was very very surprised how comfortable it was for a 40 year old car, evan if i had stepped out of a F6.
Im planning on fixing a few little things up on it like getting the door trims re-done as the rest of the interior has been re apolusted including the head lining.
as for performance wise the "windsor" will be retired and a stroked 393 clevo with CHI alloy heads and a single blow through turbo will be fitted.It may take some time to aquire the nessisary parts. As a new diff, trans, suspension and fuel set will all need to be replaced but it should reach about 700hp once it is done. This will be a slow build as im new to the carby old school side of things and want to do it right the first time round.
For the mean time im going to keep driving it and enjoying the smooth crusing XY
