They are worse for visbility but at least I can see a little on both sides instead of just one.
Engine and basically the whole car has to remain stock or it won't pass as a Veteran.
Only period correct parts are allowed and they still need to pass the usual rules so no tuning what so ever. (special expensive test that can make things legal on a regular car are prohibited on Veterans)

What wheels you're after bean?
The wheels pretty much look exactly like the classic Watanabe 8 spoke. (They are one of the few that won't void the veteran status)
They will be Silver center with a polished dish. 15x7 ET0 with 205/60 tires to keep the look and size of the originals.
I could have gone for 8" with 225s but as te car is stock I don't need the sport look.

Fortunately it's not trying to reach it as I sure will. My friend has been working on these cares for over 3 decades and knows our rules better than the experts Big Grin

I need to remember to take pictures next time I'm down there. He had quite a few gems including a Hakosuka (with an L28 and tripple Mikunis) and a very rare first gen Silvia. That thing is just a beauty.
