Adjustable suspension.all new original rubbers.

At the monent for paint im thinking black
With like a slight purple tinge through it.

Rims im not sure on yet but something like this is what im looking at, get them custom painted...

Interior will be all original, but seats and doorcards will be recovered with all black interior.

Exhaust will be twin pipes im thinking atm...

Might not be the standard original look alota people on here go for. But my goals to put it in the show and shine comp 2014.

And yes, bumpers will be getting re done in chrome ofcourse, thinking about getting the grill done aswell

just FYI you can build most of the datsport gear (struts brakes etc) for under half the price yourself with the information on this and other forums around.. Save you $$

LIES!
Chef's work evenings mostly, so you get the mornings to work on your car/run errands buying parts.
