pete_rs · 08-03-2009, 08:55 PM

Ive photos of the build from day 1, biggest thing i didnt think about would be the build cost, £1800 for dipping, £2000 for wheels and so...soon adds up..hope it goes well, mine will be on the show scene this year so come and have a look..

BRIGSPORT · 08-03-2009, 09:25 PM

You beat me to it. I will be running my 4 door mk2 this year with all it's bits in place as i have never driven a fast mk2, but over winter my bubble arched mk1 shell will be getting the sierra floor treatment. Check out andy's mk2 thread for pointers/inspiration. I'll have to pop round sometime to see the progress

. Best of luck.

graham c · 09-03-2009, 08:39 PM

i,ve been buggin andy for some pointers ! you can come round when ever but at min their is nowt to see yet, but give me a month and it will be well on its way
