Build story

Family vehicle (since 1982), been literally in a barn, for 20 years. Was going to be disposed of :( . Saved it, as long as it could be repowered for a Family cruiser. And to keep the memories alive, even if it drives and sounds a wee bit different, once completed. But it will look the same inside and outside, except for the engine bay and underneath.

Going N/A, as no modern safety controls, and I would like the children to drive it home in one piece.

Car runs and drives!, Been to hub dyno, tuned at safe, reliable 143 HP (this is a new to me engine, but has not been rebuilt, sounded good on the dyno)
