new bits are
aluminium heads
new edelbrock carburettor
upgraded alternator
upgraded radiator fans
stainless exhausts to original pattern
i still have the original steel wheels put have put the Blenheims on for now. with new brake callipers
Then renovations:
complete bare metal respray
interior veneers redone
couple of little tweaks were that i chromed the side details over the rear wing vents and i changed the front indicators as really didnt like the BL ones. i also powder coated the front grille (like a series 5) as it was either a rechrome or that
only change inside is that i put a retro sound radio in which has blue tooth and phone built in. else inside unchanged
things to do yet.
Gearbox needs overhauling so that will come out at some point. would have made sense to do when it was out before but there were some time pressures
front seat leather needs some repair
will probably change bulbs to LEDs inside and out
i accept its not absolutely original which may upset some, but the changes are subtle i think and i hope acceptable to most
