I've already gutted the interior. She's a 1 seater MUV (Micro Utility Vehicle). I can fit lumber and even a ladder in this little car. It's very handy.

I have a mirror delete and grill block in progress. I removed the 195 wheels seen in the picture and I replaced them with the factory skinnys (165mm).

I'm going to delete the passenger wiper, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the drivers' wiper. Maybe I'll modify the assembly so it's removable with a thumbscrew. In this way, I can add it during rainy weather, but it will stored inside the vehicle mostly.

I'm still hacking my driving for my current route(s) to work. I'll post numbers to my garage entry soon.

I'm thinking about pulling the alternator and using a 3rd wheel or solar for electrical. Since she's an old car the electrical system is pretty basic (AC, heating, lights, EFI, etc).

I also plan on smoothing the underbody.

I'm not sure that lowering is a good idea. I may raise her up on skinny tires.
