Not just custom anything.
The last 10% takes 50% more.

Very nice job you have done.

stu21t,
car is as good as done fore this year. still having trouble with engine running a little warm but im on with fitting a bigger rad which im hoping will solve the problem. had it out for a spin and it drives really well there are a few niggles but nothing that cant be sorted. want to try and put some miles on it and maybe try and get it to a show, just have to see how it goes.






i have been busy making some front inner wheel tubs and the rear wheels are now spaced out to fill the arch a bit better.

after last year and putting so much time and effort in the tina i have had a bit of a break of it on another project while i got some new parts to make it more driveable.
pulled the engine and box out, went through the gearbox and updated the engine with a fitech injection unit as well as a few other bits i was not happy with.

after all the work
heres a quick pic.


full update on saturday.
