Phil - cool photos, do you have any history on your car? Lots of work to change the front end like yours......

Have a look here for wheels, could be yours.

thanks for link abm....history is short...but i like to think sweet....my girlfriends father bought it in california round about '78...he brought it back....was undergoing a bit of refurbishment...then he got job in dubai...put it in his garage....and was in there ever since(bout 15/16yr)...till i took it off his hands....has a spare racing engine with it ...and i also got free....a shed load of hard work

They're really good

-I see the bus/train connection now. Do you mean you're replacing them?
I meant to ask earlier are the front wings made from steel?

yes i was thinking of replacing them...even tho fiance has grown rather fond of them....as regards the wings...they are steel
