Cracking job on the resto, sounds nice revving in that video.
It does sound nice when it's opened up on the road, and thankfully pretty silent just cruising along. Although since I knocked the exhaust restriction out it's got noticeably louder, and I'm not one for obnoxious exhausts so I'm considering dropping a small centre silencer back into the systemI don't want to change the lines too much because it's a beautiful car (well it would be if the paint wasn't knackered), but I might do a little bit of a ST-esque splitter, wheel deflectors and maybe a rear diffuser. Just enough to tidy it up without spoiling the lines.
I am going to lower it slightly though - I'm having some springs made for me atm just to drop it 20mm and close the arch gap up slightly, and reduce a little bit of body roll - since I don't run a front antiroll bar it does roll a bit at the limit and the tyres get a bit squirmy because there's not enough camber gain on a strut.
Of course I could fix that with custom wishbones and more static camber...I'm thinking about it...
