This was how the car looked after Phase 1... 2.1 pinto powered,respray etc


Lee then decided he wanted cossie power with wide arches etc and the Phase 2 rebuild started from there!

 

 

I will post more pics as the rebuild goes on

Lee is now finally registered on here so can answer any questions anyone has!

 

That is the mutts nuts!

Why didn't he spray inside the boot though??

 

the next steps/pics to be done will be

spray boot
fit fuel lines
fit lights
finish loom

 

that is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

top drawer!!!!!!!!!

 

 

looks mad and clean !!!!

i like this car alot my m8 had a with one buble arced but only a baby 1.3 x flow looked the bollocks tho needed a bit of work ect but he lost he liesonce and sold the car on for for Ł500 with a 2.0 pinto to go with it and exsusrted it had all the rs2000 bracks ect that was about 3or4 years ago know

keep the pics coming m8

 

 

thanks for the comments .
the boot is being sprayed next week , we left the boot till last because
the guys at radtec needed to fit the pumps & swirl pot in so rather than
them having to worrie about scratching the boot we decided to leave it till
last . im hoping to have it running by the end of this month .
i must say a big thanks to marco because with out his input the car would
never have been built
cheers lee
