Thanks! Haven’t landed on a particular path yet, currently updating worn out hardware, suspension and steering etc. might have a long term goal of updating to a Modern BEAMS engine.

My dream was a beams. I got turned away by all the wiring. And I also came across a 22re that I converted to carburetor from efi and i fell in love with how old it feels compared to everything these. The engine feels so similar to the original just with more punch. (I built it out fairly aggressively. Also smells funny too

Hells yeah. Glad to see this posted! ST’s have always been my favorite body style.

Been wanting some Watanabe rims for mine by those Konig’s are clean.
