Hi Tom and Dai.

Thanks for the replies.
I have done a lot to the car in the past 6 months.

The plan for car is a total strip-down and overhaul, but not for the first 3-4 years! That's only minor repairs and adding accessories.

Hi SteveP.

Yes, I totally agree with you.
This video was the first one we made, but I hope for some nice weather in the weekend. Then I'll shoot some more video of it where I give some more throttle :D

Hi Tom.
Not much, but there are allways some restoration to do :)
The window mechanism was bad, there was a leak here and there and all that stuff...
I haven't made much on the outside of the car!
It still has the ugly drawings of birds and rockets on the roof, but in some way it adds some extra to the car....

Regards.

Yes, it has the air box mounted as standard, but if it's fitted there aren't much sound....
But if it's off and I replaces the two outer ait horns with some of the same length as the two inner horns, then the sound becomes SUPER 8)
