Group: Registered Users Posts: 104	I spoilt myself for xmas and bought Harry's(L18b110)old 120y grandpa spec coupe.I don't think i will touch it too much,maybe lower it a little bit,different wheels(i have a set of trx rims) and maybe put in a mild A14 & dogleg 5spd that i have spare!

Going too big in diameter destoys the illusion of it having driven straight out of the 70's. Also, yes to the A14 & the 5 speed. If you could get some larger brakes but of the same style as the original's, like off a 180B or a Sunny, that'd help with the illusion. 120Y coupes are sweet, congrats on getting this one. After that, just sit back & drive it all over, but be ready for lots of 'Nice car' comments. Posted on: 2013/12/25 21:28
