Very smooth! I must add that Bluebird is one of the few early cars that turbo twists actually look great on!

Thank you.....
The color is Pazific Blau Metallic......though it looks a little darker with the overcast day...... As for whats next.....complete interior.....then I may swap the 3.0 for the VRAM in Ruby and put the 3.0 in Ruby with PMO's.....so many decisions...so little cash.....

Fantastic color.
I have a question regarding the turbo II wheels you have on that beast. Are they the 11" wide body offsets (et45) or the 10" narrow body offsets (et65)?

The car was due to be shipped to Steve Timmens until some major rust issues were found by my body guy.....thus I ended up picking up Ruby...now I have 2 cars and endless possibilities.....

Dunno if I could afford- but I do know I like that a lot! Dare I ask what that type of bodywork costs?

Stunning car (love the color!)...but those US spec headlights really bother me. Throwing in some H4s would do wonders both for lighting and (in my opinion) looks.

Yep..H4's are coming.....
 The SKT kit from Better Bodies (Bumpers, Rocker panels and Flares) ran about $1600. Add light kit and mirrors....another $900...my body guy charged $3k for install and respray, but the rust issues we encountered added another $1500......

Beautiful car! Were those flares added? If so, are they steel or fiberglass flares?
