break the 4i and use what bits you want to on this. sell the rest. give tony the 200 block and remains of current 4i engine to build to a nice spec and next year fit it to the 3 door.

refurb standard wheels.

get mark to tidy the wiring.

drive it and enjoy it.

well thats what i would do!

The standard wheels would need a top refurb and will look better than the pro race

But the pro race still look very nice but needs the Rees spacing out a bit

Well done Steve good on ya titch

I'd forget about power and concentrate on mint body work.

I would personally go for black side repeaters think it would suit the wheels better being colour coded

The reason for this is that people other than Steve that had a 4i put them to good use and stuck them in the back garden and put tomato plants in them, then they went out and bought a real 3dr sierra cosworth
