Beebe,

The core support is something I made out of sheet aluminum and some angle. I mounts the radiator about 2" lower than stock and 3" forward. I needed the room for the turbo air inlets.

I think there is nothing nicer than a hardtop SE. And you have one beautiful car there.

It sits very nice on those BFG's. Can you tell me what tire size they are?

Thanks! I used to think the SE graphics were a bit over the top, this car changed my mind to an extent, I still think they are over the top but now I really like them.

The first two pic's are of my 1979 TATA with about 750 miles. The third and last pic's are of my first 1978 Y82 S/E. It has about 53k on it. The fourth pic is of my second 1978 Y82 S/E. It is about 70% original with roughly 63k on it. It's the one with the body side moldings.

Here is the 1979 TATA 4-speed that I sold last summer. The car had just over 14,000 original miles and still had the original paint, tires, and exhaust. This is one of those cars that I am sure I will someday regret selling.

Here is my latest project, non SE Solar Gold '78, much cleaner than it looks in the photos. Will be going into storage soon indoors.
