I've had all of mine flocked except the glove-box, steering column, speedo surround and under the steering wheel and I'm thinking about something a bit different - the carbon would work with my gauge pod, but a wrap would work better with the stereo surround which all needs redoing at some point

Glad to see that you are now keeping her, it's very easy to get p1$$ed off and think about getting shot but you are doing the right thing.

I can't make my mind up on a rotated billet turbo,trouble with that is all the extra work involved with the new uppipe/downpipe and inlet and intercooler pipe work of turbo etc but I'll think on it.

Sod that steve I think you would be hard pressed to find a classic these's days that has no rot or some of it treated already,mine spent about half its life in a heated garage and has no rust what so ever with wax bursting from every seam and she's only one of 25 made

I'll look in to all options before I make a move on it Merv.
I'm not going to rush as I'll only have limited time to work on her.

Nothing to do with what I have spent steve,and what we think our cars are worth is never what they sell for.
My car like lot of us has sentimental value wrapped up in it and that is priceless as far as I'm concerned and although I don't deny there are better modded cars you will be hard pressed to find any of the original Prodrive's like this as I have only tracked down 6 of the 25 since owning this one in 3 years of ownership.

I see your point steve,but I would modify any car I have and seeing as I've done a fair bit to this already its a good starting point to go further rather than starting fresh.
Also at least I know what I have here as well with doing all the work myself.
So you wouldn't mind giving up your car then with what you have said?
