Try Doc's garage ... You will see it tomorrow

A real restoration job will cost even more than buying a new one . If you are planning to restore it to original status.

But , if your plan is to restore it to look good and to performe ...I think mainly you need good body work , new engine and maybe new drivetraine.

First of all .... I think you should start with the engine & drivetraine and then (if you have remaining budget) you should start the body work.

I think the best V8 engine that will be practical is the TLC V8 engine. the best guy to install it is JOY in Al Thaied (cost around 18000 Dhs)
