What suspension work has the car had? Seems to sit about 1" taller than it should.

I thought that as well . I measured it and it was right on.

It really hasnt be that long and I have not driven it that much since I had the fiberglass spring on it. So I am sure it will settle down a little as well.

The suspesion system is completely rebuilt with correct factory parts. All bushing bolts and springs are new.

The steering column and steering box have been professionally rebuilt. All brake calipers are new and all brake lines have been replaced. The master cylinder and brake booster have also been replaced with factory correct componenets.

Do you have a list or information about what is NOT original. Obviously the radio isnt, but do you still have the original one?

The motor area also looks different from others I have seen, but then again I am no expert.

Thanks.

Everything is original and/or correct expect below

Radio - Upgraded Alpine iPod - I do not have the original
Exhaust Manifold - Upgraded Headman Headers - I have original manifold
Distributor - upgraded to Mallory - I have the original distributor
Exhaust system - Upgraded Magniflow - I do not have the original
Rear Spring - Upgraded to VBP (Fiberglass) - I do not have the original.

I have have ALL receipts to all work done.

Hope that answers your questions.. please let me know if you have others.

This weekend I will be adding more photos of the engine, block and underneath the car.

Thanks again for all the interest!!

Mark
