LOL, I honestly don't know. For now, finish fixing the dents, get the car in primer and wetsanded. Get the engine finished being put back together, install clutch / flywheel combo and drop it all in. Do a full wire tuck... I dont have money right now and wont for a few more months when I finally graduate WyoTech.
I originally was just going to replace the front body panels that were damaged, and swap the engine to the cheap KA I got. The KA was leaking oil, so I ripped it apart... while it was out, decided to shave engine bay. Then I thought about tubing out the front because I like the way it looks and figured it would be a little different.
I haven't decided on rims yet. The car will be a red color... I have K-Sports (for now, yes I know they are junk), I will be making a 1 piece strut bar that ties into the firewall, and fender braces (not sure if braces will be needed with all the welding I did but I'll put them on anyhow).
Interior will be an imitation Italian leather with black suede inserts. The dash and door panels will be wrapped in the imitation leather and the door inserts and arm rest will be covered in the suede. I will be fabing up a full cage after I shave the brackets in the rear for the seats. At minimum, after the cage is painted a gloss black, I will be covering the door bars in a zipper on sleeve with Endless Motorsports stitched on the top in red.
There will be red double reinforced stitching around the seats and various seams. A black suede Nardi steering wheel with red stitching and quick disconnect.
As far as performance goes... Either KA-T or LSx with cam, heads, and headers. I have SAFC right now to tweak the tuning some just to get a little more than what is stock out of it.
