Modifications

Drivetrain
Hoping that's the original 289 but can't be sure until I figure out how to tell. Don't care for the previous owner's Cobra covers, those will come off for sure.

2 valve Holley carburetor is new, previous owner didn't realize they don't do well in large temperature change environments like in Finland but oh well, something to think about ;)
Interior
Standard interior

7-May-02 Helsinki, Finland. Security System Sikura S2000TX installed.

14-Jun-20 Helsinki, Finland. Non-functional "Security System" removed...!
Exterior
Original color code X, Vintage Burgundy

12-Apr-91 Lahti, Finland. Painted Dark Blue Pearl (Color code: Toyota 8E3)

January 2018 Parkano, Finland. Painted Black

Found her missing 289 badges in the ashtray - in excellent shape! Mounted the passenger side but driver side holes were painted over in 2018... Previous owner didn't bother but luckily I can see the outlines of the holes in the right light, won't have to measure. I'll mount it a bit later.
Audio
RetroSound Model One/Apache Car Radio came with the car. Gonna see how it sounds once hooked back up with the Ground Zero amplifier and Pioneer TS-6966 150w speakers that were also with.
Suspension
Stock
Previous owned claimed he put Koni shocks on but to be honest, I haven't checked... Yet
Wheel and Tire
Currently on American Racing rims with 17" tires. No power steering so I'll have to think about it, she's pretty chunky at the moment but needs new tires and an alignment.
