Looks like you have a good starting point there ubeauty, are you going to fill in where the side window/s were? if yes, you are lucky the louvres are still there, they usually cut them out when fitting side glass.

What are your plans for it?

You can run any drivetrain you like in NZ...Was originally going for a LS3 power train but cost was too much back then.
