So this is the new project. Its a 1976 mk2 in mint green which is really unusual. It shouldn't take much to get back on the road as I bought it as a rolling shell. I have the majority of the parts I was going to put onto the new shell so I'm hoping it won't take long.
Still going down the Pinto/RX8 gearbox route so i fitted the bigger gearbox tunnel.
And I also fitted the rear tank stand and tank.
Engine also had to be repainted as it was red and wasn't going to look right against the mint green.
I also bought a 4.1 diff and LSD some time ago and this has been fully rebuilt with new bearings.
Next thing to do is to get the engine and box fitted so I can make the rear mount for the gearbox. Roll cage from the other car will go in this and fortunately it has the seat bars already fitted as they can be a pain. Car has an MOT until October so the goal is to get it roadworthy by then.
