This car is awesome mate, still looks like a very clean base MK3 with nice alloys. At the traffic lights the saxo boys would think may be an RS Turbo conversion, but not a serious 4X4 Cosworth.

It was a combination of both! The mans a loon and the car is unreal!
LOVE it!
I picked them piccy's to go in the mag just to give a clue to how potent the car is when Wenny is chuckin' it about!
Picture tells a thousand word's 'n all that
Real thrilling motor!

Its a multi million pound project to get a vulcan bomber from the cold war back up into the sky where she belongs.
Heres a link to the web-site http://www.tvoc.co.uk/ if your interested stick your head in the hanger when you get here you wont miss it its straight accross from the gate house as you come in.
Before any one ask's what a vulcan is im sure everyones seen the james bond film thunderball remember the two planes that landed in the sea at the start there vulcans.

i dont think my bonnet is going to shut with this new turbo on, had a quick look today, maybe with the bonnet raises in it might just rest on it, its the actuator being on th top that might be a problem
ill get it fitted properly soon as i cut the block for the altenator drop bracket. fitted the new intercooler and rs500 sized pipe work, ill get a pic up soon as its on, looks mad witha 4" inlet

Would you not cut the bonnet mate for the turbo itself? somewhere on the lines of the silver swedish escos? that would look the bollocks
