Been on here a while now, but now i am actually building a turbo engine spending more time on here, luckly the project is nearly done, so will skip the boring parts..

deadline it l2b and i have paid now, £30 notes, thiefing gits..

won;t be to alot of peoples tastes, but oh well..

the car is also bui;ld on a budget, so now fancy paint jobs here, £50 on primer, top coat and clear coat does me just fine,

just after i had sprayed it













got and refurb'd my split rims, swapped these and superlites for my wellers with a032 tyres *surprised*



roll cage padding, you can see the colour scheme imerging here



stupidly large rev counter, paid has been sorted on the cage now



minamilist dash



flip front with aerocatches, panels lot lined up





poly carb windows fitted,







wing mirrors



turbo items

need a new actuator :(







not so sure on using this intercooler









all the pics for the mo, more has been done as i am really trying to get it done.

all the work, absolutely everything has been done by me, replaced so many new panels, everythign from the new parcel shelf, to spraying, to building the engine i have done soley. which i am pround of doing on an apprentice welded/fabricator wage

will try to keep up to date

That is a central pickup, isn't it? I thought the standard ones don't have the mount thingy on top
