Ok heres the deal. I've owned this car since 1996 and bought it as a roller with fresh 930 turbo steel flares, 6 point cage and C2 turbo bodywork. I guess it was technically an update at the time, but here we are 15 years later so it is now a modest backdate. (car is actually a 1976) After much thought I've decided to bring it back to the correct mid 70's era via IROC look so here are a few pics of the project: Backdating the update. This is where it was:
Took a little more work then I thought. I first had to reweld the rear center reflector panel back in and source a pair of mid year tail light housings.
Next is mounting the IROC front and rear bumpers. (I've been meaning to upgrade the oil cooler anyway.)
Now the completed rear section. Had to change muffler out to SS M&K courtesy of a fellow Pelicanite.
Notice the G50 Flares. (thinking ahead?
)
And of course, cant forget to bring the gauges back to stock;
Thats it for now...Waiting on the new wheels to arrive. There are still a few details to attend to like the IROC license plate lights and some minor bodywork on the right side where the rockers once were. Its also an opertune time to install the 22 mm front sway bar thats on the way. More to come.....
