Hmm, looks very nice indeed and very different to mine! I too intend to go down the edis 8 and coil pack route although I'll be using my MS as its a 3.9 injector. Just hope the bloody thing runs OK when I come to try it!

Nice job. I helped to build 100s of these. I worked on the production line.

Good to see one bought back like that.

I thought about chrome bumper conversion, but it's a genuine factory built v8. only 700 rubber models about which make it rearer. All the mods i have done apart from the inner wings can be undone easy
