Just and interior kit (original and worn out) and clean up under the hood and put all the right trim and shielding on it. Original engine, all #s match, etc... Factory air but no belt so probably needs all gone thru the HVAC system.

Now you need to add one from each generation so you have a proper set.

Yes, best of that era for sure as the chrome bumpers look great compared to the plastic ones in my opinion.
Nice car!

Looking good. I picked up my '80 last year. I picked it up since it was a 4-speed. I've always liked the C3s.
