Hello all, I guess I've missed the last 6 years of updates . I will provide some pics of the journey. I decided the not use my 2.2L J7T engine in this car and to re-use the 1.6L A7L. The other engine might still make it into my other fuego.

And finally the 98% finished product. Thins like the muffler have already been replaced for a OEM part. Little changed will come next season to the steering wheel.

Dude those seats are PIMP!

What a fab restoration. Who rechromed your headlight reflectors?

A real labour of love. Thanks for sharing the journey.

They are original. Three sets went into making these. I also used the Argentinian spec housing as it's a better/newer design. That spec didn't come with high beam reflectors so those came out of a Euro spec. Lenes are for a LHD vehicle.

Great restore, nice subtle updates look spot on.

Minor updates for the new spring season in Canada. Decided to wrap the car with a matte red vinyl. Have new custom Canadian (Alberta) Euro style plate on the front, OEM muffler now, stock Canadian steering wheel, stock phase 1 grille,Ryan3.jpg and new smaller radio. I plan to acquirer BBS rims, Turbo decals, and a phase 2 grille.

That really is retro cool

That looks fantastic!

Small little updates. Acquired my phase 2 grille, bbs rims, and stickers. I will hold off on the "TURBO" stickers until I get the wrap off. I had to change my front rotors from Bendix rotors to Girling Rotors to make those rims fit.
