currently got in there:
XR2 with RS1800 motor
metro with 1.8 ZR160 VVC engine
volvo T5 couple - its T5R spec
Probe with jap spec KLZE and 200bhp

The benz is the daily at the moment

Going to probably paint it all through and make it a little brighter in there as there are no luxuries like windows. Going to go compressor shopping next i think.

The XR2 was bought with no interior whatsoever (not even a headlining) with the RS1800 engine balanced in the bay, no exhaust system, spots etc. It had been painted though so wasn't a major restoration. Finding good used interior bits though was pretty tuff and most parts were bought twice as the sellers didn't understand the meaning of good condition.

Managed to get a set of new old stock OEM floor mats at RS day castle coombe last year which was the final part really.

Future plans are a willwood brake kit for the front so that the 13" pepperpots still fit, a set of coilovers and use it.

I have just order a set of pepperpot splits to be custom made using some spare 15" bbs rs barrels and dishes i had kicking about so that could turn out interesting.

wanted it to be original but something a bit bigger. Having the willwoods will allow me to run the stock set of pots then if i want to. Depends on the show i take it to i suppose.
