To an extent, yes. I'm not really destroying much by taking parts out. Probably going to sell what I take out on here for someone restoring their VR4. Trunk carpeting wasn't in great shape. They cut some holes for gauges and had a gauge pod duct taped to the A pillar. Whoever did the wiring in the engine bay obviously had no clue what they were doing.
For the most part I'm keeping a lot of it original. I plan on putting in a 3 core aluminum radiator, removing anything unnecessary from the engine bay, new engine management system, removing anything unnecessary from the interior, strut bars, racing seat and a four point harness. Not planning on cutting anything up or doing any permanent modifications.
