    Not planning on making any major changes. It has a few drivability issues that I would like to fix. Rear springs are way to stiff so I would like to do something there and the front has a frame mounted rack with no panhard bar which causes some funky steering. Would like to reconfigure the interior, mainly the seat back, to try and get some more leg room. I'm only 5'9" and it is tight. Seat back is like 6" thick. If my son stays interested, Maybe blow it apart and re paint.
     
  2. Sounds good. Can you put a dead perch on the front spring? Yes leg room is a big issue. I made my first seats, then after a long time I changed the interior in mine. The current interior uses the back from some Austin Healey seats, reshaped to fit, and bottoms that I made. Not much padding, but I can drive it about 3 hours before I can't walk any more.
