Decided to drag this one out, its sat untouched since last year as id been busy with my k series turbo build

 

clown car??

[CPC]

Slowly cracking on with this..  the shell is nearly ready for a full rub down to bare metal and respray..  I have had the gearbox rebuilt and engine block measured, re honed and refaced

I plan to fit my MX5 seats that i briefly had fitted in my turbo mini, but get them and the standard rear seats re-trimmed in a tan/beige colored leather.

 

 

And my engine block looks pretty again!

Cylinder head is also refreshed, with new valve guides, mpi stem seals, valve and guides lapped and fully decoked




This is still a leaded head as I'm told there's no space for the unleaded seats
