but i also agree it can be fixed most times i cant be arsed, thats so long as it does not misfire in any way at all, that is something i really hate i once ran the fastes ever in my old dart 10. 56 best clean it was fantastic i then ran it on n20 10.40 misfiring it was Bananarama! felt much slower never even kept that ticket,

Hi Jem, I ned to do a major update really. I'm driving the car most days now and really enjoying it. Got 95% of electrics working correctly and the motor is breaking in nicely. Pondering on the expense (£500) of bringing over a set of Wheel Vintiques steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps as I realy like that look.
Playing around with carburettors and loking for new rear spring options. But the important thing is I really like the car!
Just need to update with pics.
Most frequently asked question besides the predictable 'wots the mpg, mate?' is 'when you gonna paint it?' to which I respond 'I'm not!'

Great choice Miles!
Just be aware that the they have had issues over the caps recently. I was in contact with summit over about 5-6 months regards stock and shipment. They repetedly kept on changing the in stock date due the fact WV were having issues........Not sure what, but November became April before i managed to bag myself a set of the Twins on here!
I'm still awaiting the email from summit saying that they are now in!
