Gary , sounds like time well spent ... I'm looking at changing my exhaust out for a ss one (in the shed already) at some point as the next bit of the project.

Just had a real result, and picked up an orignal steel hardtop for not much money... Now the question is... Respray Red or White.

Bearing in mind my TR is Signal Red.

Roger , mmmh Black would be an option ... Think I'll have to fit it and see what I can do with a session on photoshop.

Saw one in white at the last Christal Palace time trials , and it did look smart on a red car... But maybe just a bit too seventies...
