I used an old tatty pair of high side Corbeau cloth seats, modified the steel frames, reducing the high sides, moved the floor mounting point up to get the seat lower and then a good trimmer to finish the job off.

You can get exact Borrani copies made in the UK by Torino Wheels - I had a set made but in 16in - but as previously said - not cheap

I had previously posted that the car was rather loud with going down to 2 small silencers, the noise was not so much of an issue, but after spending a bit of time cruising at 60 to 70 for long periods the noise/tone was not so pleasurable so have had the pipe work re-done and slightly larger...

One of the latest purchases was to have some Stainless exhausts and silencers made. Made with IVA in mind so each bank has two silencers and nearly 5 feet of pipe work, but all sectioned and joined with V bands, so the top silencers could be bypassed later on if desired. As mentioned...

Hi Keith, Totally agree that its good to see the MK3 KVA's getting finished at last, with the advent of the internet and the small industries specifically for car restoration/building kit cars/replicas has made it easier than it would have been in the 80's. The plan is to do the minimum of...

Hi James, The pictures of your car look fantastic, I like the Blue with the wire wheels. Top choice of colour is Royal Maroon (As used on 69 Mustang's) followed by Monza Blue (As used on early 70's Capri, Escort) both with contrasting colour stripe on the sill. The plan is to get the...
