the car wasnt a project but i just can not help myself so here is what started off as the hunt for a leaking coolant pipe.
after stripping the inlet to find the coolant pipe that was leaking which turned out to be the one on the bottom of the header tank i decided to get the inlet acid dipped so i could paint it and test fitted a newage inner wing kit whitch i thought fitted quite well everything lines up.

I also noticed that the maf port is no good for a classic and since im going to go with a simtek and an air sensor the maf is rendered useless anyway so made a bracket to block that up aswell which is off to be welded on and everything powder coated

my shiny new bolts and inlet spacers arrived from rally tech so put my freshly powder coated header tank back together and mocked the tank up to the inlet coming along nicely id say.
