Current plans are:
New offside front wing
near side sideskirt
Cams
4 branch
head work
T40's
strut braces
Respray in future
refurb wheels
General tidy up
Wheels look far too small/thin for it? With some different wheels it'd look really cool IMO :)

Ive been thinking that myself mainly the front wheels, The archs look really wide
This might now be doing Tour of mull this year lol My boss has offered me money for it while he's doin a bit of work on the 6r4 he would like to use this lol
Now repurchased :) hopefully get some work done on it this weekend
Looks really tidy.
Wonder how many are left now?
