a 16v sleeper, very nice , i think you`d better ring rich to see if he can pop round and wave his magic wand to get it going

[vixteris]

nah this ones for me to play with, been after something i can start from scratch with.  the 16v engine hasnt been set up at all yet and  the car came with its 8v engine as well,  so many parts and not enough room

Nice little project to keep you busy for a while

[AdamB]

pull the body kit off and get some chrome bumpers on there. Go old skool with it Vix  

[marcus123]

looks like a good base for a project,

nice 1 vix,

and what do you have planned for the little beast?

[vixteris]

have to agree ads, im not particuarly keen on the bodykit either. but not sure about chrome and white either  

 im trying to decide whether to make it a track car or turn the yellow cab into a show car (eventually).  i cant do both as one has to b a daily driver. i think getting the engine right is my first hurdle at the moment though.  

[AdamB]

I'd keep the tintop for a daily driver. With the 16v engine in it , there will be enough power for day to day driving.
Then keep the cab for shows and summer use. Nothing worse for a cab than having to run it through winter.

the track car idea sounds good

vix do you meen to take down the track like once in a while?
or like proper stock hatches type thing,

there was a good article in this months "evo" on stock hatch racing,
 a mk1 like that would be perfect for it.

man id love to get into sh!t like that
