A couple of pics before she goes in for a full respray next week.
Going red with black stripes and losing the sunroof. I was undecided but someone told me the sunroof made it look like a submarine which made my mind up!

Wheels are Summit aluminium 5 spokes, tyres are 245 rear 225 front BF Goodrich.
B/M transmission, battery relocated to the rear, GoodMark 4" cowl steel hood.

Good idea on deleting the sunroof, I´ve had three cars with them,
one brand new and they all let in the wet eventually.

Red will suit the car well, my misses wants mine repainted red but
I can´t justify the expense.............................yet.

I see you have a Speed Demon carb, do you like it, I think they´re great,
mines a 750 vac secondaries.

I hope there's not too many nasty surprises under the existing paint. Red with black stripes will be great. .

Pics of the finished job are obligatory. ..

There will be many pics!

Still not sure what to do with the rear bumper - thinking off removing the knackered rubber trim and filling/painting the bumper.

Can't decide if it would go red or black though!

Malc - carb was on when I got it so nothing to compare to but seems to be doing the job :D

Didn't consider that. Can't find any pics of a bumperless rear - you got any?
