The Żuczek Plan

I’ve spent the past 18 months or so putting together the ideas for what will eventually be the restoration and modding of my 1972 1302. While this plan changes and evolves, I’ve tried to keep a list of these ideas because I know I’ll forget in the future. I mean, this is a multi-year project once deconstruction begins.

Everything is subject to change at my whims.
