Wheels/Tires Modifications:

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
New rear carpet, 3rd seat - all damaged from broken rear window and a winter in Virginia without a rear window in the tow yard. Good rear seat from the junk yard. OEM Rear Window from the same wreck. New jack and tools and spare tire - they were rusted-out. I'm glad the spare pan is fiberglass! It had 6 inches of water in it for a year!
Future Modifications:
