85.5 restoration

Post by So Cal Mark »

just completed this one.
Upgrades include DIS ignition, 95 amp alternator, H4 headlamps, Monza wheels, new fiberglass dash, consoles and rear package tray with storage compartments and fiberglass rear seat back replacement. This car also got one of our custom ac units that use the existing fresh air ducts as the ac registers. Radio is an ipod compatible unit with 4 speakers.

Really nice work, Mark. Was the car originally an a/c car? The storage box is awesome.I may do something with mine after seeing that.
The Pininfarina cars do have hideous mirrors!!!!

I love 85.5s!
