From memory, a few things were not exactly correct on the car:
- a big modern single post rear wing,
- a rear located oil tank instead of the front mounted one,
- some modifications to the front of the chassis and, IIRC, the water radiator and its brackets,
- I think also some extra tubes were added around the dashboard (small roll hoop) or somewhere else on the front of the chassis.
I would have to check again the pictures I had seen at the time to confirm the above.

You're pretty much correct. The single post wing is attached to the transmission via an additional cover using extended tranny cover bolts. I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

Pictures of stock wing and mounting would be appreciated. Know where one is?

Rear oil tank, Dual core water radiator (two units mounted together back to back with crossover between). The rear oil tank, looks to be a one off custom unit. All the oil lines are anodized steel braided lines (~Aeroquip), looks pretty good. Additional roll hoop added to original.

Over time I would like to make it as stock as possible.

By the way, I made contact with Frank and have had a couple of discussions with him already, really nice guy and still wants to help.

Thanks for the picture Andrew, really nice looking car.

thanks for the help,

Kent
