This is closely followed by the new interior, and the number plate!Future Modifications - Eibach or H&R anti roll bar kit, Schrick Cams, full re-spray, uprated Fuel pump, maybe a charger or turbo...

Football Your experience of the car (ups and downs) the downs consist of basically every MOT (as with most older cars!) there's normally a problem that is a total pain to sort out, but the downs are definitely outweighed by the ups, I love my car, and get so much enjoyment out of cleaning it, driving it and getting it to a show!!

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) That looks stunning!!! One of my favourite mods would have to be that 3.2 lump. I've noticed with these project cars is that they look great in the photos from all angles but when you see it in the flesh you can really see the attention to detail. Thanks for sharing daverse, hopefully I'll get to see this at one of the shows! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 6, 2014 by Bealieboy Link to post Share on other sites
