She feels bloody quick she has a lot of torque, dread to think what she like in the wet but Glenn she isn't standard!

Hey Wes, glad the end is in sight for ya..... Just reading ya thread you have had some proper issues over the last few years but fair play to you for sticking with it I would get it on the road and enjoy it for a while now............and plan that turbo conversion carefully as they can be a real headache with fabricating and sourcing the right parts. Mine is constantly evolving and I still get niggles even now. But i'm happy with what I got and it certainly puts a smile on my face every time I use it

Real pleased it's up & running mate

Your on the last stretch (well before you fit a turb at least)

Get your little jobs/niggles done get your sills done and enjoy while you plan the turbo conversion.

By the way what front springs you got on your Koni's? And how does it sit/feel?

Arrrrhhhh fucking weather....... Planned on doing some bits on car this weekend and needed to remove seats and carpet to wrap them up and put away, basically preparing car for when my cousin takes her to do sills and rear inner sills. Still may change my wheels later today, if I do will post some pics.

Right fitted wheels(got to be refurbed still), removed and wrapped seats and carpet the weekend, removed passenger side underlay and binned as it was saturated with rain water (gromit under battery was loose) tank fuck I found it before too much damage was caused. full sills arrived today this weekend going to take carpet to local laundrette and wash and hopefully car will go to my cousins too or during the week at the least cant wait!
