Great project !!
I did kind of a similar build with an early CSX4000 car as well, with under the car exhaust, and bumpers. However, I kept the Halibrands, scoop, roll bar, flip gas cap, and dash layout, and with camel interior instead of black.
If I remember correctly, if your car has the big Girling brakes, I'm not sure if they fit under the Sunburst wheels. I'm not sure if you need to change the brakes.
