gaz adjustable coil overs up front 

group 1 big brake kit with vented discs 

eccentric top mounts 

strut bar 

original cross member and steering box to make it fun lol and to comply with new 8 point system 

 

the work at the mo has been all up front as the rest of the car was done years ago by pre owner so it has had 

new inner wings new inner kick plates new strut tops new inner strut supports basically everything you see in primer and white etch is new i bought it with all this done all have had to do is put the new wings on but i am trying tor replace the bits that are not right like the driver sill is good but not the same shape as the passenger so trying to make as clean and original as the factory made but with a modern engine that will be fun to drive 

 

and it will haul ass as going to rebuild engine with forged pistons ect and turbo so a sleeper lol
