I tried to make everything I did reversible. Like I have a set of steel rims with the correct center caps and I have all the emission stuff (restored and ready to bolt on) and a new OEM exhaust. So I could put it back to be 100% stock appearing if I wanted to...I just don't want to .
I haven't found anyone that really treasured originality on an X1/9 all that much. Damon Kane is probably the biggest purists I know. Every mod I did I wondered what would Damon think (WWDT?). When he came to visit me in '03 when the car finally got finished, I think he was pleased with the comprises I made...or at least he was far too gracious to say otherwise :lol:
