Haha what's wrong with gunmetal grey?

I thinks it's the worst color and I think silver/grey and chrome don't go well to get her either.. Just my 2 cents

That's ok mate, like I've said before, I value constructive criticism. Ive been thinking about it all arvo and the stock sleeper look might be the go.
Also been thinking about my choices in engines, I'm starting to think that a carby fed option will be better in terms of simplicity and getting it on the road sooner, I like the idea of a hot 6, maybe a 202 or even a 245 or 265.... Thoughts on this?

LOVE IT! keep her as she is and drive her

Stock looking sleep would be awesome mate.. Just keep it quiet and your all good.. If you left it say stock as a rock then rego would be easy and then build a nice hot motor for it while your driving her about in the sunshine

If you were to go a 6, I think it'd be stupid to go the 202 over the mopar motors, just sayin.

That thing is pretty awesome though, can't say I've seen a coupe before

Why go such old tech? Why not go a 1JZ single turbo. Dirt cheap and an easy conversion.

I originally had my heart set on a 2jz for it, I just think that an older style carby fed 6 would suit it better considering that's what it had originally, a 265 Hemi with a lumpy cam would sound awesome and it would haul arse in a small car like this and would be a much easier conversion than something injected. It won't be a daily driver and I don't expect massive power I want it to be a cool weekend cruiser that has some "off the lights" street cred.
