need some ideas.

hey guys. im leavin for iraq in may... again.. this time for a whole year. my fiancee's mom has a 71 240 sittin in her front yard. has been sitting for like 10 years.. car is complete. the dash.. isnt even cracked.. amazing. its arizona car. very little rust other than some cosmetic stuff and a serious overhaul. i want to make the car a head turner, without going to an extreme. i want it be a daily driver but have some punch to it when i want it. i just bought a 2009 ford fusion. and its near paid off. soo.. all my iraq money is mine to play with. i dont want a factory looking Z but i dont want something that looks like a kid just got a credit card and bought every carbonfiber piece for the car he could. i want some attitude but uniqueness to it. and like i said. streetable, but when i want to go screw around i can. ive already decided on rims and tires, but from the suspension and up i need some help. any pointers would be great. thanks

For suspension go with ArizonaZ coil overs and big brake set up. Then for body check out 280zforce he just got a whole bunch of custom molds to make after market body parts. For the engine go with the rb26dett with a rb30 head.
