That looks very clean indeed! I see yours has got the same problem as mine where the black paint has worn off around the windows, but yours seems to have alot less in the way of rust lol
If your going for the 24 valve cosworth lump id keep the wheels subtle. Itll be a full on hardcore sleeper!

There is no rust at all (for real!) 20,000 genuine miles and full history, been garaged its whole life!

Cool car mate! Take it that it is the one from ebay? Wicked! Just bought a 1600 slx riva saloon on an E plate, bit rougher than yours i might add! Contemplating the same kind of ideas though! One word of advice, don't cut the springs! The already terrible handling will be made even worse! If you can believe that. Have a link for twin cam swap info but don't know how to add it to post!?

Thats better! Sorry bout that! Any info you have on 2.9 ford transplant you have would be greatly appreciated! How cool would that be with a 24valve under the bonnet.
