they are indeed group2s, but the wheels are 6x10 minilights. like yours its got a few marks on it here and there, but nothing of any significance. i keep thinking about prepping the body and repainting it, but it doesnt make it any faster does it! i gotta give it some slack anyway it is bloody old!

group2s and minilights are a great combo!

its nice to have a car im not to worried about when going around the track or even just parking it in the street! still looks ok though..

davies craig pump
front mounted alloy rad... going to use a vw polo rad
water pump blanking plate

Do you not think the front end would handle better if you put a brace bar to the passenger side of the subframe too?

It'd sure stiffen the front up and after all, that's what you want for a track car.

Where did you get the Quaife style gear knob if you don't mind me asking. Really really really nice car by the way. Love it!

Cheers for that. Yeah I was wondering because they have an M10 thread and don't go on the original gear stick. I'll fabricate something up. Thanks for that!

just to show the room I got for the rad.. looks like plenty to me?



made a start on my bulkhead... it was looking pretty bad!



after some primer





ignore the stupid amount of overspray, subby is going to be repainted anyway



while the first coat was drying I cleaned up the solid mounts and put some grip tape on a pedal.. ha





also found some nice master cylinders in the garage that i might aswell use





then I got bored and decided to get back in the warm
