THE DIVA`S RWD ESCOS..(New Update 17.10.07BREAKING)
 

In an effort to get myself motivated and actually start building my Escos,i thought i might start a resto post so you can all abuse me and get my slack arse into gear.. :cry: :cry: :cry:

So here she is,this is just after she arrived from a well known source in Scarborough.. ;)

This is Neil Callan`s old car(Carwise UK) and this is how she used to look when he had her

So far so good then... :top:

Spec still aint finalised but for now she will be using my rebuilt A1 Rallysport motor(Nothing special,7.8:1cr,balanced,HP Pump etc etc) and will be running siemens injectors and either T4 or GT35 and a big plenum/cooler etc etc......

Also she is 2WD so should be mega fun.. :DD:

All the running gear has been totally rebuilt and will be running polybushes,coilies,adj tca`s,Gp A mounts,330 AP fronts,300mm rears etc

Also managed to locate a couple of sets of 8x18 old style six spoke MO`s in Et15..(Nothing like having spares... :cry: )

Will have the usual safety stuff...Secs monitor,egt,afr etc to stop me blowing her up... :DD:

Heres a few more pics,will add more as i build her up.... :top: :top:
