Carbs does not tempt due to cold driving conditions. A swap to a 3.2 is not very tempting either, and I can't really explain why. To me it just feels more right to modify the original engine then to...

If you would consider shipping I could need your front fenders and the window frames in the doors if they are in ok condition. Could also use the door handles if they are in ok as well.

Thanks.

1. Put in a used distributor (From a 79).

Hi! The color is supposed to be "electric blue", but it was a poor paint job and it is quite damaged from sun. I will have it repainted next year :)
