    Lots of posibiltys,looks like a great start to me. Chain wheel is not fun to try and steer with,so I don't like those. You may find front spring is too many leafs/stiff
     
  7. Looks like an awesome starting point for a fun car but as mentioned, the steering wheel belongs as garage art only especially if you enjoy having all your fingers attached to your hands. Also as mentioned, the front spring needs to loose some leaves as it looks too busy and bulking for a T. I would tend to look at replacing the wide front wheels tyres first but wouldn't go any wider on the rear but then that is just my humble opinion.

    Mount the spring behind the axle to lower the front end.
