a little bout the body will be stich wealding everything guting alot of weight will retain power steering and a/c so she and the kids can ride around in comfort will be geetting ride of the side moldings and adding some wisuals to make her loook good paint will be when we can aford it the color will be periwinkle

the suspension will retain the tems and i will just upgrade the shocks and customly mount the coilover bases with some progressive lowering springs

the interior will get there someday
