Nope. As the previous owner I can safely say, Hubcaps are original from the first owner, still intact.

good to hear david. bring her round when she is done so i can have a look.

well decided on ditching the holley and purchased a pair of 40 mm webers, hoping the sidedrafts rock up in a few weeks or so want it up and running again intime for my p's

we went the twins did we...
awsome decision man, you wont regret it. Seems like you were having a bit of trouble with that holley [x2x] Anyways hope she all goes well with the twins.

holley wood of been alot better if i spent some cash on it, needed a rebuild few gaskets were leaking and sucking in air which was making it hard to set up i got it tuned pretty sweet in the end, still ran nice and idled im just not making enough power to use all the fuel it dumps in

Lol makes you think about that nice thing called EFI lol [88]

ahhhh dont go puttin those thoughts in my head ive already spent enough money on it[(#)]

well recieved my twin 40s yesterday and they are going in to be tuned Tuesday so hoping for a decent power gain,also picked up some performance centre caps today, finished of the rims nicely, any one got idea of what power im gonna be puttin out, im gonna try n get it on a dyno soon but looking for an estimate

^if done right prob more than mine and Rhys' cars, cant remember the details but that motor was decent, i really had to boost it to beat lucas in a straight line, and thats when it was runnin like poo poo[:x)]

well got the car back this morning, and i cant explain how much better it feels, great throttle response down low and all the way through the rev range and a whole lot quicker,would never go back to the 350 holley now and what a great noise those twin 40's make, hopefully will get a dyno run soon to see the diffence in power compared to the old 60 hp stocker i had [:p]

heres a pic i took with my phone of the new engine
