Martin, clean up the top of a piston to see if there is anything stamped onto it? I maybe wrong but I think the originals had STD on them. If they have been changed its usually because the bores needed enlarging and the pistons will have the oversize amount stamped on them. I stripped my last engine...

I was mildy dissapointed at MiniLites as they have a very limited offering, and not prepared to accomodate any special requests. On the other hand, Image were very friendly.

Offset depends on wheel width but max 2.5" frontspace for front wheels to stay inside bodywork. Rears 4" max but you may need to trim arch lips?

Hi Andy Not sure about the air filter but if you just want to touch chips in you could buy a Porsche Guards Red paint stick. The colour is almost identical. Most paint manufacturers will have a modern code but the colours will vary so take a sample along to get matched if you are doing more extensiv...

Nice tiger in gunmetal grey. Maybe a modern colour tho? http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a554/ashleywilkes1/800px-Sunbeam_Tiger_in_Morges_2012_-_1_zps888c395e.jpg [/URL] This is a SV Alpine badged as a Tiger and looks to be the correct gunmetal grey. Great with red interior! http://i1283.photobuc...

Empty the car of all the rubbish first though. Wheels are Ford 108PCD fitment so you should be abl...

The car looks reasonably solid in the photos, but is it? I know of a tiger being restored that looked great underneath. After spending 2 weeks scraping the original underseal off the original primer was still ok. The car was then sand blasted and it revealed that the floor pans were paper thin and l...
