Lovely! Sound and moving pictures please!!!

I will do, but have just removed the front brakes for a re-furb and the distributor is getting electronic ignition too, then re-furb the rear brakes and get an MOT (I hope)

The exhaust is from the works rally car and sounds fantastic.

I'm on the forum, not seen another V8 in Aberdeen for a while although I do know of a couple that still exist but not sure if they are on the road or not.
