Other than the list above, the only other thing I can share is that the car was mechanically fully restored. All components underneath the car were stripped from the car, renewed via bead blasting and then powder coating or replaced with OE replacements and then reinstalled with fresh rubber and grease. This includes the self leveling struts and wheel bearings. Timing and valves were also corrected.

Really recommend the Auto-Rx treatment. In terms of bang for the buck, that made the biggest difference to engine compression and performance. Completely eliminated any blowby as well.

If you can afford them, the 14" aluminum steelies are an incredible modification, reducing upwards of 42lbs of unsprung weight. It's like taking 200lbs of sprung weight out of the car.
