The car is an 87 city e. Unfortunately I didn't take a particullarly good photo of the car when I first bought it but here is the only one of it complete.

My plans for the car is to build it as a fast road car and try to keep it from looking heavily modified so no body kits or graphics on the outside. It will have full adjustable suspension, coil overs all round, 6 point roll cage, good old 4 pot metro callipers and will be having the red hot interior put into it that I got with the car. As I have all the cooper chrome work I am going to try and make it look like an early 90's cooper on the outside (I know what you are thinking this will look modified). The car will have an x18xe1 engine in the front and may be adding a turbo to it (aiming for 200bhp). Progress is going to be slow as I am away at uni at the minuet and my car is in my Gran's garage (thanks Gran).

So far the car has been completely stripped down to a shell, sand blasted, both passenger and drives side sills replaced, boot floor replaced and the rear sub frame mounts repaired. The flitch panels and rear arches have been repaired. I still have the front scuttle and boot lid to repair and the a panels and flip front to fit. I'm not bothering to put up all the pictures of the body work repairs as I'm sure everyone has seen a rusting body shell. I spent this weekend just gone swapping the gearbox on my engine. I have built part of my sub frame and have fitted it to the car. I have unfortunately found that my engine has a broken starter motor, broken starter motor mounts and a cracked sump so these are a few problems that I will have to address. Hopefully I will be posting an update in a few weeks when I get my engine in the sub frame.
