Default New to the team, not the game

I just picked up an 82 242 DL as a daily driver. My dad had a 78 242 GT that he modified when i was little, and i've wanted one ever since. This one definatly needs a lot of work, but with some time i'll definitely get it up there.

As far as mod plans, it'll be very simple.. still have a lot of research to do as whats available, what years have different what etc. OEM+ will definatly be the theme. here's my other ride.
