    I'd put reverse-eye springs on it, front and rear, then fenders.
    That's all.

    Nice car, Keep driving that Banger and you are going to have a hard time pulling it out of the car. I have been driving the tires off of mine all summer while I collect parts for my engine swap. It is so much fun to drive, I must look like a real schmuck with the massive grin on my face everytime Iam behind the wheel:D
    Now that the rain has started here and its time to park it and get to work on the swap, I am thinking seriously about keeping the Banger and building it up instead.
    Killer car by the way.
     
  4. Nice roadster!!!!!
    I would keep the banger, but then I'm partial to them. If your driving a lot like you say remember its a high maintnance car. Ford recomends an oil change every 500 miles for example. Also dont forget to oil your dist and grease your throw out bearing!

    Keep the banger and make it sound like a pissed off tractor. Mine did before the rebuild. And they are right, it really moves along fast with a little speed stuff on them.

    Well, you guy's have convinced me to leave it the way it is! I am gonna change a few things, starting with the headlights..I need the real deal.

    I have always wanted a roadster and honestly after seeing your build, I changed my mind to get a coupe. Luckily the found the roadster first.

    I had a blast driving it around yesterday. I am still learning how to drive it, and finding out what needs to be tweaked or fixed. I should have got one a long time ago! :D

    Ha that's funny! I thought about building a roadster but found my coupe body first!
    With the weather here the coupe will get more use though - not necessarily bad...:rolleyes:
