    Talking Newbie With Project Turbo 2

    First post!

    G'DAY all. My name is Kieran, just joined today.
    I live in Pulborough West Sussex
    I found a Turbo 2 in a barn in my village hasn't been on the road for 11 years.
    Nagged the owners for 3 weeks to sell it and they finally crumbled - Jackpot!!!
    Now the proud owner of a non-running turbo 2.
    Needs brakes re-doing all round, flushing fuel tanks, rear wishbones. . . .and anything else that may have fallen off or rusted solid in that time.
    On the plus side the owner was a competent engine builder, rebuilt it 900 miles ago(about 10 years).
    Quite a high spec. engine.
    I will know more as the project progresses and as my wallet becomes more empty.
    Looking to have it running for Race retro at Stoneleigh at the start of next year.
    I am sure I will be crying for help soon enough

    I will stick some pictures up soon. I also have a treasure trove of spare parts thrown in the bundle.
    I will will know shortly the extent of the project and what odds and sods will be surplus to requirements.

    Looks a lot better after a quick wash!
