Refurbishment work involved stripping the body and performing rust repair before a repaint in white, orange, and gray as well as installation of a replacement 1.6L Type 126 flat-four and four-speed manual transaxle. The split front and folding rear benches were reupholstered in red vinyl, and a RetroSound stereo was installed along with a wood cargo floor, a 12-volt electrical system, a 4” narrowed front beam, a straight rear swing-axle conversion kit, and Wilwood front disc brakes.
