Default My Cossie finally runs (interior + engine pics added)

After 3yrs and 8months it finally lives.

Gotta say massive thanks to Steve @ A1 Rally Sport.
Also thanks to Marco for stopping me from selling it many times over,lol

Just got to finish off a few bits and pieces and then i can start to run it in.

This is how it looks at the moment

I am going to put the stripes on mate as i think it looks too plain without them.

No engine pics at the moment as its on a crappy T3 for running in and while the manifold is being made.
Also its on coke bottle breather till i get that made up aswell

Got the spare one off Rod.
Will be going for a top speed run, then might put a smaller turbo on and use as a track car.

Hoping to join the lads out on the track rather than standing on the pit wall.

Ahh the words of a man in fear of getting passed, lol only messing mate but it will be good to join you lot out on track and as said if i think its too laggy i will be going Gt35 or even Gt30 for a bit of resposiveness.

Dunno if i want to do the stickers up the 1/4 now. undecided at the moment as i will be using the car on the road aswell.
Think the sticker thing looks cool on a track car but unsure for the road.
