Okay, I have this new-to-me coupe and I want to build it into a comfortable street semi-Hot Rod. It's an '86 Carrera coupe that is nicely optioned; leather, sport seats, LSD etc. This will be my build thread for this car.
How far do I go? Is it desecration to pull stuff out like the center console, center automatic heating, air conditioning?
It's an original car, but I want to make it mine and make it lighter while maintaining some of it's creature comforts. The air conditioning is surely going to go, as it is anemic at best and heavy. The car also has an aftermarket stereo, factory alarm, (no keys that I found) and heavy bumper shocks. Funny, I have tried to bring my green Targa back to stock, and now I want to mildly hot rod my coupe. I will rebuild ALL of the suspension, do lighter clutch components, and fashion a few GT hints to the outside. Heavy bumper shocks will be replaced with lighter, etc. How far do I go and is it sacrilege?
This is how I bought it:
