Tons. It has two new floorpans, new hood and trunk, new front wings, new back wings, new doors, new front and rear valance, new back springs.

I think the person b4 me has had the front inner wings replaced too.

I've got to replace the entire wiring loom, retrim the seats (it's a bench front seat which is blue velour at the moment) and rebuild the engine.

There's probably a whole lot more too...

Are you having fun doing it?

[Grimmy]

what size engine do you have?

[65coupe]

It's a 289 C series V8, and yes, it's fun!
When I get it back, it's a case of putting all the stuff back in, making and fitting a wiring loom, then the engine and trans (gulp)

Do you have a new wiring harness? Is your car a auto? Are you going to leave it stock?

No, yes, yes.
(wiring it up's gonna be a bitch...)

Have you built the motor yet? There are things you can do to add horsepower and no one will know unless they tear down the motor. Are you open to that.

tranmission is a c4 I am assuming?

Always open to suggestions... especially as the motor is in bits in my garage at the moment.

and yes, it's a C4 transmission. What exactly does that mean? (God damn I'm so stupid)

You can build the inside of the motor and still show it as a stock car. You can put 10 to 1 pistions in, a nice street cam, head work and port and polish you intake.

[Horseshoeing]

I see that your in England. That can sux when you want parts. Do you have to get a permit to change anything on your car?
