Firstly its to get it all cleaned up sprayed underneath. And enginw bay. Put all body panels on. Get it back to ita original state exterior wise.

Then the power bit. Which everyone will be wanting to know . Im looking at forged 2.5. Looking for fast road mainly with neck breaking torque. Want around 450bhp plus 500lbs torque.

Ive just bought ap 4 pot kit of a breaker. Godspeed kit. Which will be the break setup.

Suspension and handling. Well not sure on that. Dont know if I want coilovers or just a very good damper setup. But I may use 24/22 ARB front and back.

Transmission. Well this ones a biggie. I want to do a few expetiments. Not going 6 speed just yet. I have a 754 gearbox. Low mileage standard gearbox. Going to open it up and try these "strengthing treatments" cryogenic freezing and shotpeening(sp?)

Really interested in this experiment amd would like to see what the outcome will be. Il most likely go 6 speed in the end but ive got 2 gearboxes so want to experiment
