So, I thought I would start the thread again. As to be honest the complete direction of the project has changed.
The few hundred pound Coupe was up and running but would never get through an MOT again.
Firstly I was going to use this as a donar car.

I built up a stock of parts that I would either want or just general items which should be replaced.


These buggers have a habbit of snapping so filled with Ginger goo. Just incase I needed to ever do again.


Now the car this was going in is probably in some peoples eyes an old mans car. Originally a Fully taxed and MOT’ed and near immaculate condition this was going to be the receiver of some pure unadulterated GRUNT.

Engine out.

Sitting very High.

Originally the engine from the coupe was going to be in this car so took it out of its previous owner.


BUT. Having a peek on ebay I managed to get hold of a new 220 Turbo engine for a stupid price Direct from an EX rover dealer.
Put it this way book price is £2200 for one of these. I got it for £250.



Other things included were a dash from the newer shape bubble car. Makes it look a lot more modern inside.
