I'm not interested at "reaching full value" I'm interested in MY vision of what I want the car to be which is a 98% + stock appearing 67S. MOST every thing IS being brought back to original, interior, exterior, trim, radio, seats etc. The parts changing I'm doing is the way I want it at this particular time in my life. I want to go faster quicker hence the 2.5 engine and JOS geared transaxle. I also want it to handle and stop better so bolt in later model front suspension with alloy S calipers and rears to match. That said if you checked the pic link you will note the original parts have ALL been saved not modified and in some instances rebuilt as time allows, note refurbed original calipers, new SWB correct Koni strut inserts, new ball joints etc. The original engine, transaxle and front suspension, oil tank etc. were all removed and stored intact, not so much as a piece of the original engine tin will be used. All the modifications I'm doing can be undone in a few weeks with the original parts if I later choose or someone else chooses because I'm pushing daisies. Another way to think about it is what if I ran the # match engine and blew it? I drive my cars and run them hard so a possibility and no "full value" in that condition.
