Engine and bodywork looks sweet

Loose those rear lights and get some Euro style ones! Loose the gash wing mirrors

well thats at the wheels m8 its got 153bhp at the flywheel, but i dont do flywheel power its the power at the wheels that counts.

it is a bit i think but it needs to get more air into it, so thats y i am thinking of putting cossie throttle body or doing throttle bodies and aftermaret ecu, but i not sure which route to go.

right there here goes havent updated this for a while, so thought i would update and let you all know what has been going on, well 8weeks ago my wheel bearing let go in a big way on the dual carriage way and it has damaged, hub, drive flange, and driveshaft. the gearbox was getting bad the syncro's were going on 2nd and 3rd gear and had an oil leak from crank and sump. so thought while its of the road i might as well overhaul the whole lot.

anyway heres some pics from what i did last week on my weeks holiday

Image

Image

Image

Image

the old gearbox
Image

the heaps of parts i took off the car

Image

Image

my scrap and rubbish heap which by the end of the week was 4 times the size

Image

on wednesay i started to put it back together with new parts

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


and then thursday i spend doing all the silly little bits i have been meaning to do for a long time and fitted the braided brake lines

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

the car has got a bit further since but always forget the camera so will get some more updates soon, but still cant finish the car yet, paid a mate for driveshafts, hubs and drive flanges from his FRST he breaking and i been waiting 11weeks for him to get them of the car, so if anyone who reads this and lives in ipswich area if you get spare driveshafts, hubs and drive flanges let me know, also need a good gearselector.

cheers for reading the essay hope it aint to painful :lol:
