Absinths new toy

**Absinth** · 29-09-2011, 08:06 PM

This came up on Ebay and was 20min away from me... I couldn't resist it and one hour later I parted with $1000. Will be a nice little project for me and a great 1st car when Leela is old enough. The interior is in great condition.... well.. at least the parts that count... dash pad, door trims ect. Bonus.... it has a 2TG fuel injected engine in it .. although I am going to remove the EFI and fit twin webers instead to keep it old school.

This is how it looks now....

This is how it will look when I'm finished..

They are pretty hot looking little cars and starting to get rare, especially finding one in reasonable condition.

Great dash...

Niicccee door trims....

Great car to drop an alloy V8 into one day.

Very nice. If it's half as clean as it looks in that picture then you've done bloody well for $1000. Looks to be a nice easy project.

I guess if your's is the poor mans Mustang mine must be the poor mans Charger.
