Ok, friends…help!
I finished my TR6 “budget” endurance race car last year, only to find long driving stints may no longer work for my hands (long story).  So, one thought that occurred to me was to examine what changes I’d need to make to make it *eligible* (note, not competitive) for vintage.  I’m guessing the fiberglass fenders, bumpers and modern fuel injection would have to go, right?  Not major issues.  Cosmetically I wanted it pretty nice as long as you don’t look TOO close ;-)

What else?  

Car is prepared to a moderate standard, but very safe.  Has full cage, fire suppression, fuel cell, etc.  See pics if they come through.

Are the 200TW DOT tires legal?

Thanks for any recommendations, especially sanctioning bodies in the Southeast (I’m in NC).
