I thought I`d share my new daily driver `dub with the lounge  I picked it up about 6 weeks ago as a clean 4 owner car with 4 months tax & mot, its never had any major repairs & has been in storage off & on since @ 1977! So far it`s been lowered 4" at the front, bumpers replaced by t-bars & centerline type wheels fitted with 145 / 195 firestones. it`s also running a period 1700 twin carb motor which runs sweet! It`ll get a re-paint next year, colour unknown..

Did I forget to mention it was`nt a bug  So ugly it`s mother would disown it - but I like it! A manual `box & a bigger motor is on the cards after a paint job, but it`s only ever been intended as a driver. A nice turbo motor sounds interesting though..Martin - any tips??
