Hi just to reintroduce myself for some reason could not get in other than this way. Anyhow joined last year and have been busy on the car. i have upgraded the wheels to volumex with bigger tyres and koni shocks the handling is way better.i also put on spacers. I have put the twin ansa exhaust and must say it sounds good.The car I bought in germany with a genuine 4000 mileage. all bills and documents.It was bought to germany from america by a italian for a present to his wife. It had sat in his garage workshop for many years . The car was totally original including carpets and seats. I have also put on the european bumpers .I have as mentioned changed somethings but rest assured they are all carefully stored. When I can work out how to send pics I will. One other mention I am not over impressed with the lighting I have put 5in wipacs but they dont look right I would like to source a light to fit behind bumper i.e 4inch regards Terry. :shock:

Hello and Welcome! Euro style H4 headlights, properly aimed and running on 13.5 volts, deliver a very respectable beam pattern. You are a lot lower to the ground than most (all?) modern cars, so that's a factor, too.

Here is a thread on how to post pictures directly to the forum:

This short instruction covers how to resize pictures so that they don’t get cut off at the right side:
