Welcome to the forum! I really like the car!

Welcome from Illinois nice looking car you have. Is that an original Canada car? The reason why I ask is the instrument cluster appears to be a Plymouth.

As far as springs go you can have a place like springs n things or espo make you new ones have them add an inch or two in lift. Get the look without the rearend sitting lopsided.

Looks like a fun project, lots of good people on this website.

it was always kept in the garage , last on the road in 2010. i still don't alot about these cars yet , the gauge cluster could be from nothing else.

any part numbers for springs i should use

what about shocks ? something stiff

the car need the drivers floor board , and baseball size rust hole in the rear wheel well.

I hope the cowl area is solid.

 

[Ski 61701]

Look up under the dash towards the bottom of the cowl area. This area is noted for rust hence the possible reason why you need to replace floor board. Make sure cowl drains are open and not plugged. There is one inside of the engine compartment and the other is located behind the passenger side fender. If you open the pass side door take your hand and you should be able to feel another rubber flap / drain hole.

As far as shocks go, you can get them from rock auto. Dont cheap out and get Monroe they are total garbage. Get kyb better quality for a driver. A little firm but not bad. Just Google leaf springs and you should be able to get contact info for those places. Id go 2 inch over factory ride height, thats if you have them made for you.
