    Fix the door, detail it, stick plates on it and cruise. You've got a winner there.

    Please don't do the SLR clone/look-a-like. Soooo many of them. I'd go conservative. It's too good to mess with. Detail the hell out of it and whack on a set of nice wheels then enjoy it. Once it's polished and super clean you'll love it more. Great car!

    All I'd do is add 14" HQ GTS wheels , lower it, and put a nice sounding exhaust on it with maybe a small cam
    Perfect period correct cruiser

    Do nothing but pull it apart and clean with respray but maybe pull the banjo out and replace with a vn vp diff just so if you do get up it one day your not stranded on the side of the road with a broken axle or centre

    15 inch chevy wheels, on HQ stud pattern. Brakes ? I have a WB van , some years ago I also had a 74 corvette. Front end looks almost identical, except the corvette had huge 4 piston calipers that worked fantastic. Have wondered ever since, if they could bolt straight on. Wish I had tried whilst I had the vette. HQ _ WB brakes are shit. Corvette wheels fitted the WB but the WB wheels, 14 inch wouldnt fit over the vette calipers .

    • @TuffMounts
      @TuffMounts  Год назад +1

      We will need to change the front brakes to HQ a few mods are required to get it done, Rear will either need new axles or a diff change to be able to do it right.
