nice lookin car overall but there are a few things that dont seem to flow.

first thing: gas cap door.

second: front bumper looks kinda odd where it meets the fenders

third: REMOVE THE FRONT PLATE HOLDER!1 GRR!!

Yep those are Recaro seats. This car will be my project in the coming summer months. Motor has to be rebuilt, tranny & rearend look at, frame stiffeners replaced, body work and paint done over , gas door made, all weather strips and interior redone. Other than that nothing else to do!haha I have included a pic of my last project I did three years ago...53 IH with 92 full size Chev running gear.

I what I see. Don't be surpised if you wake up one morning with it gone, and a note saying "sorry I had to steal your first gen, next time, don't post such a nice car on the internet without putting up more pictures" :P. Just playing, good luck with her.

Original owner tells me that it is an IMSA kit. As for the engine...not sure if anything is wrong other than it has not run for twenty years. He did rebuild it back then but never got around to making it run. The spark plugs were left out of it for some time so i fear rust will have set in. It is better to be safe than sorry so out it comes, besides i want to repaint engine compartment anyway.
