I actually like the look of the 80 spec, plus it was 80 from the factory so staying as per.

Snowing in the pics was dust on the lens

I was only talking to a mate yesterday about building an S1 or S2 Turbo with Cosworth running gear, and then I find this! Incredible work, the attention to detail is superb, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looks awesome and a cracking job and the arches look so subtle that most folks won't even notice them and that's what you want. Big build up over the winter for next summer is it?

Cars going to be stunning and a real credit to you m8
