Funny to see this thread, two friends of mine (brothers) ended up winning this car. I was supposed to help them road trip it home from CA sometime this month but I'm starting a new job mid-month and didn't think taking a week off was a great way to step into a new role.
A full ZHP conversion is on the table (he's also thought about doing ZSP bumpers since he has those already), not sure what engine is going in the car. The one who won the car has a ESS TS1 ZHP and his older brother has a S54 swapped ZHP, so they'll come up with something for this 323.
