Last week i let one of my sr nova's go and bought this for a bit of craic. Im only 22 so ive much to learn but i like a project and have always dreamt from i was a young boy of owning a mk2 so im over the moon to call it mine
It previously was a 4door but has been converted quite well by 2owners previous to a good standard, and most wouldnt notice only im being honest and dont see the point trying to make it out to be a 2door. As a 2door was out of my budget i bought this to start me off and to learn the car before maybe buying a proper 2 door rs in the future.
its a 1300 running on twin40s, 1/2 cage, ashley exhaust, interior is stripped with twin leather buckets and harness. Car came on the revolutions, the rest i am unsure at the minute
I have a folder full of photos & reciepts for all the parts of it when i was standard and throughout the converison and paint which i will load up here once i get them onto the computer.
Just had it a short burst in it and i love how it drives, although the brakes are quite spongey so il need to sort that out asap, unsure of what brake setup it has at the minute
Plans are:
replace the leather buckets for a proper pair
source and fit the floor carpet
remove the centre console and source & fit the original with clock&radio
source and fit the boot carpet
tidy engine bay
rewire the fuel pump to ignition as its on direct line with switch at the moment
buy & fit 2 up 2 down cibies/sims
repaint revo hyper silver or buy 13x7 superlites
tidy paint up even though it has had a respray
get it ready for mot at the start of the year/service and enjoy it
without the rear mudflaps, i have them off to make 4 new ones. Id prfer it withtout the rear mounted but as the hangers/mounted are already drilled through i may keep them for now
thanks for looking
