Remarks

The car has a stainless-steel exhaust but with a standard looking tail pipe to keep it looking standard. The suspension is standard shock absorbers with standard springs with uprated bushes. The wheels are fresh refurbished shark tooth alloys with new Toyo tyres (spare tyre in boot). The car was to stay as standard as possible but make it more reliable in modern traffic and drive like a more modern car but keep the Cosworth feel.
