Got the inside wet, driving in the thrashing rain up in MK. Got soaked.

Worth it though, just to hear the GM V8 goodness cruise past

They work to help hide not to completely get rid of the scratches if not too deep and its rather quick and simple to apply worth a try at £1.60 just thought id try the JML one see if its better..

As a couple of episodes of top gear, I think there's money to be had, in retro fitting Chevy v8's into classic chassis.

That e type, and the Jenson interceptor. Upgrade the suspension, oooohohooo yes pleeeeease. :)

Sad, but true Albs :'( I was quite shocked when I found that out...

More shopping...

while you were all asleep, I aquired a complete set of Irmscher V6 estate springs 8)

Lazy buggers aren't they, nice work, so what shocks..?

05omegav6

Rear springs alone and front struts complete, front shocks look stock :-\ springs look tidy though. :y

Sills are all that I'm missing, though a spoiler with the built in brake light would be a nice touch...
