Pauls ex '12... lovely mint car

Have you tuned the height up a notch?

Mmmm very nice. I remember seeing this and wanting it badly when it was for sale last. Great colour

Hi, yes the rear end was getting a little creaky earlier this year, so when I replaced the rear spring plate bushes I 'cranked' her up a little all round just to even out the ride.

Also found 'homemade' exhaust valve guides fitted in the heads, a bent pushrod and a burnt valve, but thanks to the guys at PRS this was rectified fairly painlessly.

While engine was out, did all ususal engine seals, plus clutch. Also replaced all engine electricals.

Exhaust is a modified Thunderbird 4 into 1 equal length system with a damped EMPI stinger. Sounds fine but maybe a litle too long.

Apart from that -- running sweet.

Cheers JB

No looks just right... I used to run a short DDS black stinger off a set of Bursch pipes but much too loud for the angry neighbours at crack of dawn starts

Agree with Cubist, that stinger looks spot on

Always liked this car,
