Few things have been done:
Lowered 60mm
Original Lucas 20 20 Spots added with drive lense's
Alloys (I know there the similar to yours lee but these came up and couldnt resit, plus I think they look swell on a mk1!)
GTE bumper fitted too

Next on the list is to get the 2 rear corners sorted at the paint shop!

Before alloys where sprayed:
