From Replica to Outlaw.

Upon closer inspection, turns out one of the sodium filled exhaust valves had failed, which is a thing! So, while the motor is out, we will take the opportunity to perform some upgrades, including some creative freedom with regards the aesthetics.

So far, we have removed some surface rust from the body work, replaced the broken spotlight, painted the tappet covers black, removed the 3L badge from the boot, lowered the front suspension, replaced the front brake calipers with that of a genuine 2.5 and fitted new tyres.

Planned changes to motor include fitting piston and sleeves from a 12Valve, 3L, 164 with Gotech motronic engine management system effectively increasing the engine capacity to 2.8L.
