    getting rid of the air cond would be a good start. take the booster off and give it some gloss black, polish the master cylinder at the same time. ditch your fan and shroud and fit thermos. move the battery to the boot, move the fuse box to the glove compartment, tidy up the spark plug leads.

    than put a 308 in it
