Thanks for comments

Give it a good polish today



Had it live mapped last week at MSD,peaks at 35psi,holds 28psi now
Just needs inner wings spraying white to finish the car off,lad I bought it off ran out of money to get under bonnet area painted same as car,was planning on doin it the winter just gone,but got carried away with powdercoating all my suspension!
Planning on lifting the engine out and stripping everything off inner wings next winter and getting it painted


Couple of closer up pics of dash as promised

Had a crack in turbo core,leaked 6 litres of coolant into my sump
Turbo repair place could only get an oil cooled core at the time,was a week wait for a water cooled core,and I couldn't face waiting another week to get it back on road

He spent big money on it,then sold it to buy a bathroom suite
