nice i was goin to do a mancona myself but parts aresohard to get to convert and i picked upa pair of newold stock manta wings and an as goodas new nose cone cut from another car for250 quid so kind ofsettled wich wa its going this one has been sat on a hard standing at least ten years there was a holein the windscreen pillar and i thin water had been running down into the A post hencewhyits rotten in that wholesection icould just plate the outer face of the swan neck as inside is clean steel but ime making new i could but them but i will make them and beef them up at the same time ime thinkin of going v8lexus
My old car is sat in Scotland with an Oldsmobile 350 part fitted. The chassis width and suspension setup makes V8 fitment a bit more difficult getting decent exhaust manifolds in. The ones I made for that car are on the TVR engine in the car I have here.
Does your 400 kit have one piece front wings? The quality of some kits was awful back in the day for a road car.
