Hi all,
First of all I'd like to thank admin for allowing me onto this forum.
I would like to ask for some assistance in getting more out of a '76 404 1.8l GL Auto. Quite a mouthful there [emoji1] .
I recently bought the vehicle from an old fellow and are now the proud owner, after wanting one for a couple of decades.
Although there were literally thousands of 404's around in South Africa during the 70's and 80's, most of them seemed to have, along with the guys with technical know how, vanished.
To cut a long story short, I'd like to build the vehicle into some sort of a "retro street racer", as guys in the 70's and 80's would have done it.
Some ideas are to lower it, to add some period signage to the body, exhaust, suspension, widened/banded original steel rims and obviously engine power; while still keeping the classic look we all love. Some kind of "sleeper" car would probably the correct term.
Thanks in advance, any help and guidance would be much appreciated.
