Wow. A lot of work done there It`s a bit `busy`, colourwise under the bonnet for me but I do like the bodywork colour. It`s good to be different Very nice overall.

I was hoping you were going to restore it back to its former glory. Shame to do that to a rare classic IMO.

I preferred the original colour, but it looks like a good job & the work under the bonnet looks good too.

Nice job , i spotted four sets of wheels in the sequence?? end result VERY NICE.
is the colour subaru royal Violet or custom Cadbury ??? is that a high lift intake manifold? with new clutch in place , be interesting to see how many horses are lurking there. Be safe.

Normally I would moan because I am a purist when it comes to these cars and the 555 is high up on my list of scoobs to keep original but this car looks so good and the amount of time, money and effort that has gone into it is something else
