looks good mate, keep it 100% standard, its one of my fav cars of all time, most 'modded' ones on the other hand are a joke. Actully all modded ones are shit.

What colour are you gonna re-spray it?, not sure what its called but IMO the off white colour they did was best

Very nice, i'd forget restoring to factory spec and get that porker engine in, it fits with g/box dead easy :)

Doing a factory resotration job on it will cost you a fortune and take ages due to the rarity if some of the hard to find pieces.
A better idea in my opinion would be to turn it into a nice cal or resto cal looker :thumbs:
