As said above...........That wing is an eye opener to whats lurking under tech 2 kits.
Very nice car you got there and the paint job looks immaculate.

Btw i wouldnt do a 3.5 conversion on that......to rare mate, keep it original..............Thats just my 2p's worth though.

Yep got to agree with all of that. Tech 2 kit can hide real horrors. And don't do a 3.5 to that for god sake. Do what I'm doing find a turd and build a sleeper. :twisted:

Stunning car BTW. :D

Yeah, but family and every thing!, i fitted new arches on the rear, he did the painting. But as i said i paid for materials. i think the paint bill came to around £200 pound for more than enough to do the whole car.
