If your serious about it then it has to be exactly how you want it otherwise there is no pointwell said.
Stock lump with a T2/T25 turbo
Cool. Great project.
On that chart the torque seems to flatten right off from 3100-3800, when you'd expect it to be doing the opposite. Weird.
Yeah I thought it looked a bit flat, quite linear really.
Don't know how well it was set up at this stage. This was before the car was taken off the road and stripped down
Kelly Burgess has mahoosive jubblys! Ha forgot about her! I miss topless models and cars.Yup it's got to be right!

This really is great to see ! I knew Morgy went on a lot about the parts he had everytime I spoke to him but never realised he had gone to this extent !
Used to love this car back in the day, I think its time to change the grill and wheels though? Nice to see it all painted!
I have a friend local to Plymouth breaking a 5 if there is anything you need? Most has been sold so far but the shell is there and other bits (bodykit etc)
Look forward to the updates and will watch this thread with interest! I reckon you will beat mine to getting on the roadAlso will need to keep a sharp eye on that for sale section
Yeah he went a bit mad with his parts spend really.
I think for now I will be putting the stock lump in and seeing what it needs. It's a lot of work.
Saw your thread earlier, good work
I sold it to Morgy so when he had it I had already had everything done to it. Got a stock grille and will be keeping oe wheels on it
I kept going on to get it done or at least on the road! Then he ended up buying that Tungsten / Green caged 5 which was such a bad move... I know he fitted some parts on this also, new hoses etc and alloy bitsYeah he went a bit mad with his parts spend really.

I'll put yours together if you put mine together ?!??
Time... that's my problem !
Yeah
He robbed a load of the good stuff of the raider to put the grey one on the road
Fair shopping list of parts for the Raider now
Good to know there is someone local anyway
So, went off to collect the shell today and another 2 loads of gear
So much stuff to go through
Gave it a wash to get all the dust off
Don't worry about the subframe, nice clean seam welded one to go in
Like this one
So many bits!!
Good times I would love that. Reminds me of having two 5's and parts everywhere. Work out what you need and sell the rest.. happy days.. but realise you will have 5 parts now for a long time I ended up having to bin some of my stuff when I moved
washing a bare shell :O hope water's not sat around in it mate
I gave it a good drying out with some if the missus finest towels
Yup, parts everywhere!!
Any progress yet dude? Or you been banned after using the mrs finest towels.
Not really
Seem to have been manic with everything else at the moment!
I did fit up the doorseals and start the engine bay loom
Picking up the engine & glass Fri PM then waiting on bodykit and bumpers back from paintshop
Turned into a dust collecteror have you been sneaky and got this nearly finish buddy?
Sold most of the goodies and got a decent offer for the remainder of the project so it had to go really
However, I still frequently browse and look for the right 5 and when it appears I hope to be back amongst it
Less than 6 months and you sold it all off
Anything left? LOL
1/2 cage but will probably keep it!
Was too much work and I'm too impatient
Sold to me, Will be starting a thread once I have moved house.
Shame really, all it needed was putting together.

Yeah will be a good one, great base, just want to take my time with it and make it right. Looking forward to getting started on it!!!Good man! Looks like a minter from the photos, so good base to build on.
I'm sure with Jims knowledge, experience and patience it will be cracking when finished.
She I couldn't see it through but gave Jim a good project and made a few pennies on the rest of it
