Nice work there, looking good, you got anymore plans for it now or is it a case of running it now :)

[jt19]

Thanks guys...I'm chuffed with it. Just got to polish it up and wax it.

 

I'm just going to put it all back together and have some fun in it!!

 

Going to get it set up at Peter Baldwin's in a few weeks. want to get a few miles on it first, and get the suspension set up.

 

It should of been done months ago but my mate let me down big time with the body work

[minimissions]

Thats fair enough mate well yeh get it build and have some fun in it like you say..

and its bloody annoying when people let you down like that.

Think I might take this one down the turbo route.

 

I've been building/collecting turbo bits for about 9 years! lol

 

Anyway heres a few pics of her from sunday when I went for my first drive of the year :)))

Looking bloody amazing! Love the colour combination.
Are you leaving it as it is or putting GT stripes on it?

Just missing some underriders ;)
Haha

Don't she look purdy.

 

Well done mate!

[jt19]

think im going to leave strips off as its not a gt. plus less is more i reckon sometimes ;)

[Ben_O]

I think it looks just right

[72clubman]

Although from my car you wouldn't think it, I agree. :) Only thing that looks a little odd for me is the grill, the early centre badge with the later bar combination doesn't work for me. But I'm just nit picking and a tad jealous of your paintwork!

[Ben_O]

I love the grille

[minimissions]

That looks so good glad you have been out in it :) loving those split rims tho.... mmm

[jt19]

Haha thanks guys. The grille and bumper came with the car. Might get a new grille as it's looking a bit tatty. Or maybe I could paint it black? What you reckon? ?

[jt19]

It went through the mot with no problems! :)

The plan with it now is to turbo it as I've got all the bits to do it. But I will be selling the track day mini project

[72clubman]

Well done!

 

Does your turbo set-up require bulkhead mods? 

[jt19]

Nope it will clear it as I've got a 'matty' manifold and a gt17 turbo going in.
I'm going to leave it as a 1380 for now and enjoy it for next summer show season. Then next winter once I've sold my other project and bits I'll build the turbo lump :)
