I have finally decided that this is the year for me to pull my finger out and start to rebuild both of my 11 turbo's . the first will be put back to almost original condition I hope even down to the stereo and the second with be balls out with a full monte carlo kit and hopefully if I can get it at the right money a gordini engine.

below are acouple of pics from my 11 turbo addictions hope they prove of interest and I will post updates when I start.:scratch:


The blue car started life as a 1.4 gtl and was converted to full phase 2 turbo inc new front and rear panels. that was until it was rolled thanks to black ice and a country lane .:sad:

The red one I have had for about 16 years and has served me well so its time to rebuild again.

there's a bit more space in the 11 for a Gordini engine, but I'd go for something more modern, 172 engine might fit under the standard bonnet? If not a valver or similar will.

I've been waiting for someone to put the front end of an R21T into the back of something..
