    I fitted these new dials last year,whilst waiting for the Turbo to come back from CR Turbos, bit of an awkward job as the old ones had faded badly.

    Engine rebuilt, pipe work,brakes,rad,oil cooler,turbo & Shocks all done (altough this photo was taken before i fitted the Koni's).

    Respray
    Decals
    Tidy inside
    Re tune
    sort the wiring out as the bat won't charge and thats with a new alternator?
    and no dobut i will find something else

    I have a dead line in mind Easter, Defo needs to be done by June!

    So I haven't really updated my thread with how the project rebuild went. But here is a photo of the car on show this weekend. When I've got a few hours spare I will unwind the build with the photos etc.

    Been a while since I actually added to my own build thread!

    Still I've got to find the time to really unwind all the photos of the work done.

    I am just over the moon the car made it into PFC after a cracking weekend at ND day at pod last year.

    Here are a few pictures taken two years ago now before all the work on the exterior started. I'll add some more of the wip and then the finished job.

    You will see from these photos that the rear drivers side quarter was in a bad way! Oh and it also came with what I can only describe as a cup of tea holder on one of the side seals

    This picture was taken the day I got her.

    Notice that the passenger front wheel is not straight I'll explain in the next updates as to why.

    So I've finally managed to fit my afr gauge,tidy up the BMS downpipe,changed the steering wheel and ditched my OZ wheels for some original speedlines with original brand new uniroyals.

    Afr's having rebuilt the carb and a bit of fiddling On ilde are 14 be interesting to see what i get out on
    the road.

    This was the reason why my front wheel was out of line. Top hat totally shot to pieces, luckily I had a spare one
