Its going to get a sportka bodykit soon and an RS1800 rad as its still running the KA rad which is a wee bit small especially for this weather. Maybe a 2ltr lump eventually as all the hard work getting the zetec in has already been done.
It will eventually be my winter/wet weather car as its a bit more practical than my puma.

Cool, love sleepers, still never had one as id always want one flashy car, so as yet cant afford a sleeper too 
Out of all them, the Ka is my fave, proper sly!
205 the least fave, as tho its quick and subtle, its been bigged up by the owners and so on out of all proportion with BS power figures (first appeared claiming 400bhp, from a VNT25...
) and making its the quickest thing ever (ever been properly timed?).
Sleepers dont work when you tell everyone
Ill do one one day, had a few in mind for a looong time...
