Figured I've asked what everyone is currently doing, or planning to do in the future to their II's? Always nice to hear others thoughts and ideas as it's often good inspiration.
I'll start! My II will be a totally gutted race car for the street. No carpet, door panels, rear seat etc. etc. 15" aluminum slots front and rear with 255/60R15's in the back, not too sure of what size on the front yet. 3.40's in the rear with a spool, because screw turning smoothly at slow speeds lol, with a basically stock suspension front and rear with a urethane bushing upgrade when I can get them. 5 lug conversion is already done in the rear, will most likely do the Granada upgrade for the front.
For now under the hood will be a mild 306, which I already have sitting on the engine stand, pushing MAYBE 300 horsepower, but with how little the car will weigh it should scoot along nicely. I have an old school Superior 500 steering wheel for the old girl and a B&M Pro ratchet controlling the C4 with a mild shift kit and about a 2000 rpm converter.
Exhaust is a set of modified Hedmans so that damn tube doesn't go under the cross member going into a 2.5" x-pipe system with Thrush welded mufflers that will exit in front of the rear tires. Color wise it's going to be olive drab green with flat black accents, Google David Freiburgers F-bomb Slo-maro as I'm pretty much copying that look.
It's going to be loud, obnoxious and nobody will want to ride in it for very long, but by god I'm going to drive the hell out of the damn thing! I might be a nice guy and provide hearing protection, but we'll see.
