	Ade, that is exactly my idea of what a retro car should be like....V8, Jag rear and fat/thin wheels. I need to see it. I'm in Donnington. Perhaps you can PM me an invite sometime.

For this year i want to fit a roll cage to stiffen it up a bit clean and paint the engine and finish the axle and put a nos kit on .Then if all goes OK next winter i want to rebuild the engine with either supercharger or more than likely twin turbo and fuel injection
