Exterior: Fit roll over hoop with SC style support, remove bumpers front & rear, fit Le-Mans style fuel filler car. Fit period racing mirrors to door pins & centre of dash. Fit chrome wipers & blades. Re-chrome stone guards & fit correct piping.
Body: Modify rear of body to fit period single US style lamps & modify to include indicators. Prepare & weld alloy body to remove aerial hole, seat belt holes, bumper
