Seeing as the project is now 100% complete, I thought it was time she be added here.
many of you know it, it's been an interesting restoration, one tailored to be something I wanted to use as a daily driver. Some might like the changes, most likely won't. stock 1600 SP in the back, pretty much everything else stock besides the vintage gear lock.

Nice ride! Love the matt black detailing, gives a very KDF look to it
