Update time
Soooo after having a chat with Mike about my engine the decision has been made to covert it to run an R5 carb setup and ditch the rubbish rst stuff
So Ive been collecting parts to get all this sorted but still have a way to go till I can drop this lump in
Hers the engine as it stands now, yeah ive just plonked the xr2 inlet on for now so I dont lose the thing


And heres some other bits ive added recently


I got these reproduction mk1 fiesta mirriors from Steve at Speedshack, theyre loads better than the elephant ears that mk2s come with

Also friday just gone I took it to see my mate Matt for its first mot since ive had the thing and I was pleased when it passed firts time as Ive never had a car do that
After the test he got to chopping the front springs a tad to bring the nose down, theres still plenty more lows to come but that'll come after the new engine is in


Ive also sold my old blue mk2 as I didnt have the time or space for 2 cars realistically

But the way ive see it ive done more to this one in less than a year than i ever did in the 5 yrs I owned the blue un so meh
Plus the white one will be a beast (or break and cost me a fortune :blub: )
