I don't want to get too crazy, as I'd welcome the idea of taking the car on a road trip or two, or being able to throw a hitch on it and tow something like a storage trailer or small vehicle.





The suspension will definitely need some attention as the weight of the motor sure is taking it's toll on the front springs/shocks. I'm thinking a decent coilover kit all-around.
