I agree with everyone else. Keep it just as is...it looks so cool and very 70's correct. Just re-do it all so it's freshened up and that'll be a real head turner. Also...get some ansen sprints for that baby and fill out the flares.

It's on the right side, check his location. There's at least one more person's car on the forums with a right-hand steering set up, that I know of, probably alot more.

It looks great.

Loving the flairs/glassed in spoiler. Keep that 70's paint job, it's fitting and actually understated compared to most custom jobs from that era...

Thanks for all the encouraging comments.

I am in the process of covering the dash panels in leather, so I will post interior pics when finished.

The paint job was done in 79 & is in need of a total make over & I will try to keep it as close to this as possible.

I have a friend importing some wider rally wheels. If they suit I will probably change to them, but its hard to let go of the Turbines (they need to be restored too).

By the way,the steering wheel works better on the other side.
