Nice car! I don't think I would personally go with that low of a profile tire / that large of a wheel, but they don't look bad.
Has that rear seat cushion (bottom) had the seating surface built up? Maybe extra bolsetr foam added? I don't recall mine being quite that defined or raised up....mine were much flatter IIRC. Been some years though.
Love that they kept the factory starter! Sounds like a Mopar should.

I'd like more sidewall myself, and I'm not against low profile tires, but not that low. It would help the stance if the back were raised, though maybe not the handling.
I wish they'd spent more time on the mods. What exactly was done to the steering? Just a steering box upgrade, or does it have a coil over suspension conversion and rack-and-pinion steering?

My opinions.
More sidewall tires.
If you invest that kind of money, I think fix the wipers and buy the radio knob are a MUST.
Yes, seats looks some “bulky”. Not just rear but also fronts.
About your doubts jeremy… I can see the UCA adjusting nuts still there. And NEW TORSION BARS are mentioned.
Nice sunny day in UK thought… really uncommon LOL.

Be nice to know the torsion bar rate.

Don't care for the Low Profile tires. They just look out of place on the cars. The Grant steering wheel is ok, had one, but wanted to get back to the original Dodge steering wheel which is on mine now. Nice car otherwise.

I can understand wanting a thick grip rim after upgrading the steering and suspension. It's too easy to lose grip on a thin wheel. I've done it, it's scary. I dislike replacing my factory steering wheel, but it doesn't go with all the upgrades I've done. The Tuff wheel might, but if it costs five times as much I'll be putting the extra money elsewhere.

I haven’t talked about the custom/personalized aftermarket parts, just the missed or damaged.
Of course I don’t like the steering wheel, the gauges underneath the dash (IF INTENDED to replace the ones on cluster, instead fix them), the Shifter, or the glasses “console”… but that’s about taste.
