Wow, looks very clean and it's just as clean under the front guard in that first photo :yes:

Looks like a great find, well done.

Looking forward to future developments.

he had it painted , put new rubbers in it , and then the standard problem - wife, house, kids. and his parents got sick of walking around it. so the 2080 has been removed to makeway for the 2276. gearbox has been beefed up. rear discs , mazda mx5 front seats , lots lower , dont know what type of wheels to go for, new carpet n hood lining etc.

looks great you gotta drop the front :)

got the drop spindles already. the wheels are only 14s as well which makes it look even higher.
