MODIFICATIONS

Engine:
  • Not much
  • I have installed a K & N air filter to try and get more power out of this old timer. It only had 86-88 hp when it was brand new!(depending on which book you get the stats from) Might get a new carb
  • (yes carb) for it someday. This car also was an automatic when I got it. It now has a 5-speed from an 85 Cavy. Was a bit of work but was well worth it.
Suspension/Wheels/Brakes:
  • 92 Sunbird 15" aluminium wheels
  • KYB shocks. New aftermarket front coil springs to replace the broken ones.
Interior:
  • This car originally had the cheapo interior in it. I put in a cloth interior of the same colour from another 82. I also put in the optional factory gauge cluster w/tach.
Audio:
  • A cheap Sony CD Player with Clarion speakers.
Future:
  • Bodywork is complete as of Oct 2005. The two pics on top are after the bodywork taken Oct 5 2005. Car is now being driven daily.
