undecided on a colour atm....prob keep it ratty with a satin or matt black paint job either with areoplane stenciling or an a-team stripe with a lil bib spoiler and ats cups if i can find them or boring superlites in 13"
may even run it in the existing colour as a rat
mind keeps changing
just going to tidy it up and slam it/make it look cool/have a bit of fun with it and restore it properly in the original colour etc over next summer

There's tonnes of potential there!  Incidentally, a good mod you might consider before you stick those Recaros in is putting a smaller sporty steering wheel on there, it makes the car much nicer to drive in the corners and if you're a tall guy you'll find it so much easier to get in the car, hell I'm only five foot eight and I saw a difference when I put the little Astrali wheel off my old racer Imp on my gold one, saves sore thighs every time you get in the motor! ;D ;D |

I know what you mean, the Rootes steering wheels are nice, it's just that the Imp wheel seems to be same size as the ones from Commer artics! ;D ;D The smaller wheel should make the interior look a lot sportier too, I'm using a little period Astrali thing painted black and it does look very genuine, partly because it is, the last motor it was in had been a racer from the 70s until I scrapped it.
