the car when I first picked it up.
I drove the car around for a bit like it was but how low the car was and the roads where I live kept wearing a hole in. The down pipe so the 2nd time welding it up the time had come to bite the bullet and look at having air ride installed.
after looking round I went too Luke at plush automotive and had him install the air ride.
At its first meet after having air fitted
next was the wheels I wanted a set of BBS RS so on the Hunt I went managed to find a set in hungry that I liked so got them shipped over
had two weeks to get them refurbed before ultimate dubs so had a company do them.

After ultimate dubs I managed to track down a couple of seat covers in matching material so got them changed over
Old seat
Seat covers
Seats back in
Brought a set of twin carbs and manifold ready to put on the engine in the winter
And the manifold after a few hours on the polishing mop
And this years winters project taking the engine out cleaning it and a bit of polishing and smoothing the engine bay
We taken the rain tray out in one so it could be welded back in in the future if wanted
