The "TD" of course has wire wheels which ordinarily would not see the
higher
brakiing forces imposed by disc brakes. This is something that I would be
mindful of & it definitely means you cannot consider chrome plate on the
wires. The TD is a vety nice car & great project, select an engine with
similar dimensions to the original & you should be OK. Good Luck.
