Just read this whole thread...

Gutted about the Bean! Good luck getting him sorted in the new year

DIGGING the look! Love the spots on the grill, colour, stripe etc.

Loved the straps, as well as the original 2 panel dash too

cheers adam! i look forward to you coming over!

im looking at bits for him already! lol a bit naughty because i dont have any money! hahaa!

i found this picture too, this is how he is at the moment... sad bean

Personally i'd keep the grey colour bud. It's your car and you can do what you want with it but i think he suits the grey down to a tee!

[LuckyThe1275]

I would too

[tedmcedd]

well i probably will change my mind, but for now, these are the plans:



im very fond of them to say the least!

the stripe was never finished before, i wanted it to curve up over the wings and across the bonnet, joining the two sides...

also my plan that i AM sticking with will require me to get this sticker made up:

Looks good - again, different

The blue looks good with the yellow ... however i'm still leaning towards the grey with red stripe. Ahhh your going to take the old forced induction route. Should be quick .

thanks! lol! i know i change my mind all the time! pretty sure this one is staying!

i know what you mean, but out the factory he would of been teal blue, so its only right to bring him back properly, do something different, and yes, give him some bite to go with his bark! lol

engine will be:
1100cc
12G295 head
KC500 or Metro cam
MG Metro turbo manifolds
MG Metro Turbo carb
Renault 5 Garret T2 turbo
megajolt
intercooler
two core rad
x-pin diff

think that covers it...

im very excited!

hey mate,
Nice spec there, dont think you need the mega squirt though, as he's not injection the metro system ran through a turbo carb. you just need something like the metro turbo dizzy..or megajolt.

[AndrewJ530]

Are you sourcing another 295 or getting yours repaired?
