no wing with a QV

the late, small, flat wing does not look good imo

 

the only nice wings for countach are the big older ones, expecially the adjustable versions are cool

Allan, how much do you think the mechanical work will cost?

 

 

I dont know.. Im rebuilding everything and also adding ported and polished heads with all new valves, guides and oiling mods, kevlar clutch, quicksilver headers that will be jet coated, quicksilver exhaust amongst others. Decided to do it all upfront, rather than taking a 25yr old garage queen and starting to drive it, and then watching head gaskets and stuff start to blow. Then Im going DD hunting..

 

On top of all that, Im also doing numerous other upgrades.

Since its this far apart, are going to do pistons and bearings?

After George took it appart and inspected it, we decided it was fine the way it is.

I was just at Evans a couple days ago and saw your car in there. It is in great shape!

Good to hear because I have never seen it!

So Allan, what's next? :D A Ferrari 512TR? I would mention F40, but you have yourself said that it's not on the table price wise. But maybe a 308, 512 BBi or 512TR? :D
