Re: here is my 83

I like the look you have going. You have plans for paint? I too wonder what is under the hood. Got any better pics of the interior? Looks good from what I can see.

Re: here is my 83

I thought of going with the v8 or a ls motor but i really want to keep it different but i want more power, so i have been looking into putting a 3.8 Turbo V6 out of a grand national or t-type hopefully the power would be there and it would be extremely different

That sits RIGHT! I like the look. As to keeping it different , look at the link below of the 68 that n2billet did . Makes that six banger stand out .
