Hey, I've worked on that truck before. I think the brakes?  P.O. "girl" hauled compost and what not in it right?
Still got those wheel on it?

Not a bad truck ,My next build will be a 1980 model, I have a complete new dash and cluster for a 1980 model on the shelf from New Old Stock.

Techtonics tuning can make your 2'5 down pipe and your exhaust, talk with Josh


I have a brand new T3 and picked up a AAZ T3/K14 manifold that will go to ceramic coating this week.

Let me if you need some help...

Try to find a set of LX pillar cards, rear and side's ( cardboard ) headliner if you need them

There was a reproduction set on the Vortex

Mine was down to a shell when I found a set and did the a pilliars and B pilliars and headliner in black english leather , then installed new seals and new glass

carpet came from the U.K., premolded with cutouts and with the Kick panel's

I added the corrado seats with new scirocco black/white cloth seat insert material from MK autohaus on ebay
took three yards of material

Good Luck

That's a snazzy color and I love that front end. I almost regret not swapping that front end onto my Caddy.
