Has it never been restored then?
No restoration done here, she's very original. The following things have changed since leaving BRT / Advantage:
- Returned to the 1989 specification in terms of transmission, so out with the Harrop back end and BRT driveshafts and back in with the "Eggenberger" style 7.5" diff and driveshafts.
- Replacement decals added where some were removed as per the regs when she was raced in NZ for a few rounds. (These decals are pretty crap and will be replaced by proper ones when time allows).
- New side-exit exhaust fitted - Almost identical replica of the BRT unit fitted in 1989.
- Car was run in the UK a few times with non-original engine. Original, 1989 stamped ARE engine now back in the car which is what was being setup my Stu and the MSD guys.
- Safety stuff has been updated of course as it had all expired (extinguisher, seat and harness).
