Engine and bodywork looks sweet
Loose those rear lights and get some Euro style ones! Loose the gash wing mirrors

What come's next? who care's, why worry about things over which you have no control. Freedom is a voyage of discovery with all the enjoyment of seeing things and experiencing events for the first time. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

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
the old gearbox
the heaps of parts i took off the car
my scrap and rubbish heap which by the end of the week was 4 times the size
on wednesay i started to put it back together with new parts
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
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
