In a more static position. I also have a 1" raise in mine. I'm very pleased with the stance.

I love how a 1" trans raise looks. No camber and the fender line hugs the tire.

^^^^I agree, a 1" raise seems perfect and better for the suspension too (I think) maybe this question should be on a different thread but......when doing a 1" trans raise what else needs to be modified? I think the sheetmetal shelves in the engine compartment would have to be moved to seal the engine compartment right? I'm thinking of doing a 1" raise but my car still gets driven on the street and needs the engine tin and engine compartment seal so I was wondering what's involved with doing this to keep the car streetable with cooling etc.
Thanks!

You need a bus nosecone for the shift linkage to line up but that's the easy part. It's a lot of metal work to do it cleanly. You can get caveman and beat the package tray to clear, or section the firewall 1" and raise the tray up for a factory fit and appearance. I would leave the engine bay shelves in place and use a late model engine seal flipped upside down. If you raise the trays then the seal channel won't line up between the shelves and rear apron. Also the decklid spring will interfere with the fanshroud, and the exhaust will need work (I would weld up the pea shooter holes and use a center outlet for the collector to pass through). |

So many nice raker`s on here! Old car of club Mate Andi aka Rookie. The perfect stance in my point of view. That car really got me into THE LOOK and was the first 1776ccm where I had the co driver opportunity. Good times.

Looks like just European ones to me, same as US '66 and earlier. Now as your car is a genuine US-spec 67, you'll want to keep the ones you've got!

Wasn't thinking of changing, I was curious as I thought European 67 had the flat headlights, didn't realise it was a US only thing. So the general change over worldwide must have been 68, right?
thanks
