Modifications are a requirement. I select a car & then make a list of mods. After purchase modifications start immediately.

I have one that is original only because I wanted to keep it for old times sake. But all of my others have mods of some kind. My 82 daily driver is far from original. It sports a 383 carbed motor with a T5 trans, hydraulic boosted brakes and tons of body and interior mods including a DVD system.

I like original I think it they look better factory and I just like keeping them the way they were engineered that even goes for my 95.

as far as my dads c3 I want it to ncrs standards and it's pretty close to it except a new paint job
