  10. Cool project, Do keep us updated on the stages/progress of the car. First step will have to be finding a good non crashed relatively rust free starter. early modles had drums all round so yuou might wanna upgrade thgem and booster assisted master cylinder. we'll get to the A/c later.
  11. Keeping in mind you woula need to sell your creation, keep the mods to a sane level as the prospective buyers will be put off,.. TT.
  12. Hi and welcome, Starting with safty first. what size tyres/wheels are you havingand are the wheels steel? Then you can upgrade to an alloyset and matching tyeres , keeping the same tyre hight - lowering profile with matching increase in rim width.
  13. No. Get the calipers inspected and serviced.

  21. Hi, Start by getting a new air filter.
  22. Hi and welcome. In asking your detailed question, you have answerd your self partly. If you decide to buy it, get the timing belt looked at.as a clocked odo- meter dosn't recondition the belt. As for off roading, your car is as good as it's tyres. sio geta new set. better suited for light duty work, and make sure you have a trackter handy to pull you out when you get stuck in mud.? Cheers,.. TT.
