![]() new bits are
aluminium heads new edelbrock carburettor upgraded alternator upgraded radiator fans stainless exhausts to original pattern i still have the original steel wheels put have put the Blenheims on for now. with new brake callipers Then renovations: complete bare metal respray interior veneers redone couple of little tweaks were that i chromed the side details over the rear wing vents and i changed the front indicators as really didnt like the BL ones. i also powder coated the front grille (like a series 5) as it was either a rechrome or that only change inside is that i put a retro sound radio in which has blue tooth and phone built in. else inside unchanged things to do yet. Gearbox needs overhauling so that will come out at some point. would have made sense to do when it was out before but there were some time pressures front seat leather needs some repair will probably change bulbs to LEDs inside and out i accept its not absolutely original which may upset some, but the changes are subtle i think and i hope acceptable to most |
