What is your engine budget? Because when you ask "What engine should I put in?" I would say a 3.2SS with EFI/ITB setup. Or even crazier with a 3.6 if you have deep pockets.
If your budget is <10k you might be able to find a nice 3.0 CIS running donor. You could also sell the 2.7 core to help cover that.
I would install front and rear after market sway bars. Someone may have already done that on your rear banana arms, hence the ground off sway mounts? Not sure. Tarret?
What about KW coilovers?
What about dropped spindles? bump steer kits? how low you going?
I would paint engine bay and underside body color.
AC is personal. IMHO they are heavy and usually don't work. Aftermarket systems haven't really caught on too well. Some entertaining threads on that. I think the market is too narrow for a leader to emerge. People love to argue about Oil and AC on this forum lol.
The flares look amazing btw. Great job (at least in finding the right welder and kudos to his skills)
Oh - and spend extra time and money fitting the Horn grills.

Hey Duane, thanks for the great leads!
I've just searched for the Talbot mirrors and they're perfect! I too was thinking of just deleting the passenger side. As for the engine, I just surfed over to the Supertec site after reading a few threads and the 2.8SS looks like it would be pretty cool with 300hp Jeez. You say the 3.2SS? I guess with the 3.2 it would be more turn key satisfaction and daily driveability though??
Trying to search the forum for KW Coilover but for some reason I can't get the site to respond. I'm behind "The Great Firewall of China" at the moment so it's likely something to do with that. Not sure how low I'll go yet with the suspension. I was lusting over all the stuff at the Elephant Racing site but that stuff will blow my budget. BTW, my engine budget was around $25k. I have a feeling I'll blow through that though.
Anyway- you've given me a lot to dig through so I'll get back to it. Thanks again for the leads and suggestions. It's given me more confidence in what I've been thinking so far.
