Was the car a bargain Jason?http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif
That looks sweet, I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures as it goes back together.
The stripes get my vote http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Pick the engine up this week then i can start putting the bits back on.Also got to get stuff shot blasted and painted.
Car cost me £1500 with all the bits apart from wheels and interior,but im sutre its gonna cost me more to get on the roadhttp://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clint.gif
Thats ok Jason I always said you was richhttp://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Finally got me ass in gear and have fitted the wiring loom,well sort of anywayhttp://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Last picture is all the loom which i didnt need like leccy windows stereo,heater etc.Amazing how much of the loom is crap

Looks the tits Well in your face and clean as well. You gotta change the indicator though.
Cool m8. Cant wait ta see it on track at nat day.
That looks very nice Jason! Wish I had the guts, the garage and the money!
Do you have any idea how many hours you have spent on it ?
Jason, have you fitted new rear wheel bearings?. Since fitting my rear disc conversion both squeak between 0-20mph, especially the left one. I have repacked them aswell but a mile down the road and they start squeaking again. Unless its the pads. I have mintex 1144s both front and rear and have since found out and then told that they squeal like mad. I wish I had known before http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/sad.gif
Paul
hi paul i put new wheel bearings all round.Mine squeaked but ive now found out one of bloody rear callipers his shagged http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/mad.gif got 2 new ones on the way.
Cheers for the replys guys i will get some new piccys up,and also its gettin a few "different" engine mods
Nice to see it at the middlesex show JP. Looks good, shame you couldnt have cleaned it a bit first though http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/shocked.gif http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/grin.gif

got a proper manifold clint,just wanted to try something different.Dont want to spend a fortune on this car so its like scrap heap challenge http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif
Jason good move I would guess the NA manifold would work very well http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif
thanx clint,wasnt to sure if it would work but hasnt cost me anything yet so thought i had nothing to loose.And when i saw your manifold that got me thinking http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif
