I've had a couple of MK2 Sport 1600's sitting in my shed for a year or so now, and I thought time I did something with one of them..
I'm a big fan of the look of the old white Rothmans works BDAs, with the flared arches etc.
So I want to do one up to look the same (except white with black trim, no blue or stickers as it's a road car).
I want something that handles really really well though so I thought I'd turn here.
I thought of doing a group 4 conversion, but that appears to be a lot of extra shell work and would lose the back seat.
I'll be running a toyota hilux rear axle with LSD, Duratec 2.3 engine.
Princess brakes in the front and a pedal box.
So short of doing group 4, what's the best things I can do to make it handle well?
I'm thinking the best Gaz shocks all round.
Single leaf springs?
Shell stiffening kit?
Obviously new bushes all round.
World cup crossmember or standard?
There seems to be a lot of suspension modes that can be done both front and rear in terms of bracing etc.
I'm keen to hear peoples thoughts.. have attached a pic of the car before it was shipping to me from South Africa (I'll never buy another SA car again after those two)..
