The red velour interior definitely had to go.

The car had been repainted black in a driveway paint job...

The engine bay was cleaned up...

Two layers of foil-faced padding were installed to reduce heat and noise.

The bottom was cleaned.....

I picked up an old set of Appliance wheels that were "clones" of Torque Thrust wheels, then bead blasted them and polished the outer lips.

The old 318 Polysphere motor was pulled out and given away.

... with the hood and trunk closed.

... and repainted to match the car.

New carpet was added and the seats recovered.

... painted and undercoated.
