Default Ok it wasn't quite finished, but it deffo is now !

Some of you may remember my last thread where I said my car was finished -

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...-finished.html

Well I still had the bug so ended up spending a few more £££ getting it to how it is, and this time it's definately finished. I'm really happy with it now and in the flesh it looks stunning.
Pictures don't really do it justice to be fair and I'm guessing it won't be to everyone's tastes but I'm over the moon with it and the changes I've made have made a massive difference to engine bay temps and inlet temp.

So here's a quick run down of spec again and then a few pics.. All comments welcomed, good or bad.

Enjoy.

That is one very clean classic with a good spec.
Your hard work and patience has certainly paid off, well done Matt.

Sometimes feels a little light when cornering at very high speed, but just adds to the excitement
Much prefer the look of no spoiler on a 4 door classic anyway, don't think a spoiler suits the lines of the car.

Thanks for all the comments chaps, really makes all the time, effort and money worth while when others appreciate it.

i just cant stop thinking.....

some mud flaps

or a mid spoiler

surely this is the correct balance, for looks and handling together. hell, youve spent thousands there. somehow it just doesnt sit happily for me....
wasnt this the euro look years ago, or was that small wheels, no spoiler.

no disrespect for your creation there mate at all...

ummm not quite what i was getting at mate. i was kinda thinking good design is good design. taking away a spolier for me just seems wrong. as it has multiple benefits.
