'89 Lebaron Turbo GTC: General overhaul + 2.5 TIII swap

[Force Fed Mopar]

So, after about 4 years of daily driving (and a ton of racing ), it's time for a general overhaul of nearly everything. At the time that I acquired it from Tony (Bozo), it had a fresh 2.5 CB and Ciff-built 568 w/ OBX posi, Eibach springs, 3" exhaust w/ hi-flow cat and a MBRP resonator, +40's, 3-bar, AWIC, and I tuned it using the wideband. Fastest time was 9.03 in the 8th on slicks, fastest mph in the same 8th was 80mph on street tires. Car weighs about 3250ish with me in it, Dynamat everywhere in the cabin. I've done a couple head gaskets, once because I didn't clean the deck properly, other than that it's been a nearly rock solid daily racecar.

However, nothing lasts forever and now it has various leaks, head is worn out, brakes are worn out and getting some shake, suspension is starting to feel loose, clutch is barely hanging on for daily use, and the body and interior have some wear and tear. I've finally managed to get something else to drive so I can park the Lebaron and do work on it.

These are pics of it as it sits today. I'll post more later, so I can have some good before and after shots. Plans include going through the interior and recovering or replacing as necessary, bodywork and repaint in factory color (Pewter Metallic), Polybushings throughout the suspension, some aero work for post-hwy speeds, new set of Eibachs cut to drop it about an inch, and of the 2.5 TIII swap I acquired for next to nothing Also revamp the AWIC system and new stereo.
