Build story

I got the car pretty straight but it was silver and purple with a green interior. The trans wouldn't go into reverse and the ignition would cut randomly.\r
The generator also was indicating that it was near death. \r
The paint looked ok at a distance but not up close. I started fix all the mechanical so that it was a reliable driver. Fixed the coil wiring, did an alternator swap, thermo fan, trans rebuild, did all new bushes front and rear and did the interior up (initially white).\r
Then about 6 months later I decided to paint and do the interior black. Paint was done at my father place with the help of a friend. After that it was onto installing the air ride. Its set up to lay on chassis. Heater unit came out for an a.c. system that I am piecing together myself so that I dont have to spend much but also get a unit that is not seen inside the car.
