    hmm future plans.... a let would be nice but as it was originally on carbs a nice set of r1 carbs would be good. and the bay isnt photoshopped, i just have a cleaning fetish! oh and a big tin of hammerite smooth red spray
    the bumpers are sort of wrong as they are mk1 gte ones on a mk2, but as the car is f reg then meh! i desperately need some red buckets, and an early cam cover too. the outsie is sorta my homage to the old skool cars that have gone to the big scrappy in the sky. ie classic, clean gm stuff. id love the original wheels but the novadose kit is big baggy pants!

    Not a fan of kits myself but thought the bumper worked well on this originally.

    its a love it or hate it thing with the bumper tbh, and the car that is sorta inspiring this is the green courtenay turbo as it originally was. ( i forgot the reg, duh!)
