Im new to the forum and with my limited knowledge of vintage cars already, I'd appreciate all the help I can get before I decide whether or not I want to sell this thing...

I bought the car off of a friend on an impulse decision without him knowing it was an x11 code car...with me now knowing, the car has spent the last year at the interior shop and metal/fab shop. As it sits now, it has a brand spanking new interior (everything on the inside was replaced; down to the door handles, dash, console, seats, carpet, headliner, seat belts and everything in between....didnt NEED it, I just wanted it done right) and all new sheet metal. I still have yet to touch the motor and it will need a paint job (was white with black rally stripes). I'm trying to decide if I should keep the car original as I can, make it into a pro touring car, or sell/trade it. It still is riding on the stock suspension and brakes but I've always liked the low stance of the pro-touring cars.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what coil-over kit can I buy without breaking my wallet seeing that I already have over 30k in this car?

Also, I know I cannot post in the classified sections because I have yet to post "50" times, but is anyone possibly interested in a '69 camaro? If the moderators allow it, I will post pics and can possibly follow up via private messages.

Thanks

Also, I was debating on putting HRE wheels on it if that will help anyone on getting an idea of where the project was going.(just because I know a race team owner who uses them on their cars and could possibly get them at a good price)

I still have the stock rally wheels; in perfect condition.

check out the Speedtech / ATS chicane coil over conversion, there is a bit of fab involved but nothing difficult.
