Are those the wider/more offset wolf "type" rims?

They look mighty good if so... Cool

That little 90 looks stunning, mudflaps made a big difference. Lucy saved from A parts shelf, 1984 110 V8

Thanks Clayton and Byamin. Very Happy I did actually really enjoy washing and polishing the 90. I know it's only 20" shorter but it seems so much easier/quicker.

Apologies I missed this, the flaps were from Tuff-Rok but a matt version they don't seem to advertise much. Various options for logo/no logo available. Thumbs Up James

To be honest I have no idea. I've not done anything with nor can I compare it to anything else. It starts well and runs well and seems reasonably lively, it's no LS3 but enough. Just really nice to drive Thumbs Up James

I’m not sure I would tune a V8 in an early Ninety, I find mine fine in standard tune. For me it’s the torque making it easy to drive, the towing ability and of course the sound of that V8. I don’t need a racing Ninety Thumbs Up

Treated her to a new SS exhaust from Demand Engineering. Sounds awesome. The bore has been increased from 2in to 2.5in (from memory). It might just be the great sound and all in the head but seems to be running much better and more lively?
