Backdating an 87

Just coming to the end of the work I intend to do on my X so posting a few pics.
This was one of Martin's old cars. In pretty decent shape when I got it but always preferred the earlier 70s look of the x1/9 - so have been backdating it to recreate that look. I normally value originality but couldn't live with the larger bumpers.
Pics start with as was bought, then progress through:

Bumper changes - iirc these are Hillman Arrow and Reliant Scimitar 5e bumpers
Fabricated nose grille
After market repro 1300 front spoiler
1978 steels with orange highlights+ new tyres
CSC manifold and exhaust
Fixed a flooding carb along the way (float problem)
Period seats fitted
Dyed door cards (these were from an earlier 1500 than mine and in cream so easier to dye)
Swapped Bertone steering wheel for earlier spoked version
Removed plastic side trim and fitted decal in its place plus original Bertone twin colour stripe
Chromed swapped in for the original black trim
Period boot badge fitted
Sail decals replaced
Pair of x1/9 squishy bags sit in the boot
1300 rear grille and engine cover fitted
Homemade gear gaiter in green vinyl.

Along the way the car passed its MOT (issues highighted on the pre inspection were failed suspension boot and non functioning turn signals). MOT man impressed by lack of rust on the car
Original seats ( I still have the covers were very badly perished) and looks like one frame had been sitting in water for a while.

I'm happy with the result. She runs well and has to my eye a sleeker look.
