my mates gf had one we use thrash it round when we were younger

 

ah memory lane, i had a 1.3 ie one of these on a f plate, awesome little car back then i much prefered it to a r5gt quicker aswell.

 

Mines took some amount of abuse too lol

so i will get it sorted

 

he managed to pick up some shocks and stainless exhaust for it ,will up date as we get it put back together

same lad had a red uno years ago I painted black ,and I had a mk1 uno with the wide body kit bleed valves open great fun ,another friend had a r5 we was always rebuilding the engine

 

reminds me of my old white mk2, also had red mk1 complete with pink fiberglass boot

first one I driven were everything is tight normally its like sturing a bucket of shit changing gear

 

Nice mate, a mate of mine had one of them back in there day, went quite well if i remeber till it blew a core plug and he swapped it, can't remember what for now, couldn't have been as interesting, ha ha ha.

 

Lovely little car's

Well Dingla

 

Proper nice ... Loved my UNO turbo years ago.

 

ive only ever been on one uno turbo, friend driving flat out, and i said something didnt feel right at the back, once we got home, god knows how we got home, we removed the side carpet and there was the shock, but no inner arches, the shock was just hanging there lol

great work on that one your doing, hard to find standard nowadays

 

Very cool!

 

i know that feeling mate, i had 5 r5gts but once id had the un i never bought another r5 they wernt a patch on the uno imo.

god dam this thread its got me looking at unos now remenising, but where oh where would i put it lol

 

Nice work as all ways andy

 

Love UNO turbos. I had a 1.0 UNO 45 for my first car and there was a breakers 5 mins away with an UNO turbo in it. I took everything except the engine if it and made mine a rep. Looked ok when I was 17

 

Couple of my mates were into these back in the day they went well never see them now

 

As above not seen one of these on the road for at least 10 years, good project and top work

 

I had one in 1990 a c reg with digital dash 1.3 in grey great little car

 

Nice work mate

 

Love a good old uno turbo. Mate had one year's ago and it was rapid lol
