When stolen, the car was powered by it's original 3.3ltr 6cyl & 4 speed, it now has a dead 253 tri-matic.
I have a fairly big clean up job to start off with, the owner is a hands on sort of fella & will be helping along the way to keep costs down.
more evidence of the thieves attempt at rebirthing the car.

One positive though is despite the patina paint & rust holes, the body & quarters still have their original lines & i don't expect to find much filler. We're not going for a top 10 Summernats show finish but i think i can make this car look pretty neat, the owner told me if it turns out as good as my Toranas, he'll be stoked.

Geez, that body is almost r00ted! Good luck with it! All that rust you can see, wait until you get the shell blasted and see how much more there is!
If you do go for a V8 T5 you'll have to get a V8 WB pedal, 6cyl won't have enough pull in it.
For the A/C buy a whole firewall off a HJ-HZ with all the air still on it and copy a you transfer it across. There are 4 x big holes to drill.
Check the rails for cracks while the front is off.
