Nice looking ride 8)

I would pick a VF52 or similar ( perfect for daily driving and mixture of spirited driving )

little update:

i have done a head gasket :russian_roulette: the car is going to Phil Lowe ( Thanks to Brian (Brainy) for putting me onto Phil) later this week to be fixed and possibly getting the clutch replaced depending on its condition. car will be out of action for a week or so and my pocket empty for a few weeks but the car will be good as gold once its fixed.

That's shit luck man.

How many k's does it have?? I wouldn't think with your mods that a head gasket would go..... Too many hot shut offs maybe.

Is there nice forged goodness going in the motor while its out??
