We picked this car up in the summer of 1996. A friend of our son's was selling the car. Purchase price was $2100.00, and the car was fully driveable.

Modifications to date include a 1600cc four cylinder engine and automatic transmission from a 1982 Chevette. The engine and transmission dropped in with very little modification, and the shifter and console from the Chevette was used. This was done previous to us purchasing this car.

We've re-done the interior, making it look close to factory, but with a more colour coordinated scheme. The inserts are a "hound's tooth" pattern, grey, with a touch of salmon. The rest is salmon coloured vinyl. The door panels are salmon and white vinyl, following the factory scheme.

The seats have been slightly "dished", almost like a bucket seat. This was done to make the car more comfortable on long drives.

To finish it off, a deep burgundy carpet was used, and a spare tire cover was made using salmon and white vinyl.

For future modifications, we are considering a 2.5 litre Chevrolet 4 cylinder throttle-body injected engine with an over-drive automatic transmission, or a slightly modified B20 Volvo 4 cylinder engine, with an Aisin-Warner 3 speed automatic transmission. Disk brakes on the front are a must, and we may even go with 4 wheel disk brakes. Any brake suggestions would be appreciated.
