Pedal box, heater box and washer res were powder coated. New brake M/C. Wiring is in very good condition. Glass is very good. Dash does need a top cover.
The engine is a Rover 4.2 V8 that was rebuilt. Has had the liners replaced. Inspection, machine work  and assembly was performed by Autoparts Machine Shop in Ann Arbor. Crankshaft checked out okay and was polished. rods were resized, pistons inspected and cleaned. block was inspected, old liners ground out, new ones installed for the stock pistons.
