OK, I bought the car to drive and enjoy and not have to do as much work as I had with my Z28 street strip car. That didnt happen.
New plan for the car:
Fix the floors and the frame.
Redo suspension: new springs new struts new ball joints new steering boots update sway bar and mounts and redo the rear ujoints.
Engine will need a rebuild. Not confident in doing the engine, I have never rebuilt an overhead cam head, so I will most likely look for a replacement long block and swap them out. The original will be wrapped and stored since the numbers match.
Goal
Nice driving and looking S30 with the ability to hold up its head at an autocross as a stockish 35 year old car. Some modern updates but not many and drive and enjoy.
So for the guys that have been down this path, what updgrades/changes have you made or are you considering?
