Orite guys, posted pictures before but over the winter things have really been moving on so thought i would make a build thread. Got loads of pictures will try and post the best of them. Cheers.

Then after a few months new wheels and stainless steel system.

Then the timming belt snapped, was gutted but also lucky as it didnt damage the pistons and my brother works in a cylinder head machine shop. So was fully rebuilt with the 33mm valves, skimmed, presure tested and a headgasket set for £87 quid.Bonus.

While it was off the road i decided to fit a front mount intercooler and some Stack gauge's and an OMP steering wheel

Also fitted a vernier pulley and heat wrapped my manifold.

Then something which completly transformed the car a Stage 3 PPP Subframe conversion

Absolute top quality.
Next on the list was suspension. Firstly i bought AVO adjusable front shocks and ran these for about a month

along with all new bearings and shot blasted and painted struts

Although these are quality shocks i was not happy with the ride height so after a few beers one night i bought a full set of TA Tecknix's coilovers. Again fitted them with all new bearings, bolts and so on.

Then the winter came and she was put off the road. Then i decided to change the inside. More pics to follow.
cheers Grant
