The cooling system was also completely redone, including new radiator, hoses and belts. We installed a new interior as well as top and boot cover. New plugs, wires and a complete carb. rebuild were also done. All gauges were restored and function, as well as new body pieces, including new front fenders, boot floor, rockers, and dog legs. It was then painted in lacquer. The car is a pleasure to drive, pulling strongly in all gears.The cost was over $38,000; in 1997!
