Liking the new wheels.
Also like that subtle body kit, is that the original turbo technics kit ?

Not a fan of the rusty bonnet, and I think a neater front bumper is in order.
Otherwise, nice car.

Well at least i will know where they have gone if they go in the night now dave!

Right slight update, wheels look like sex but one of them was rubbing, so.. out with the sander and took off a good 20mm of filler on the iner arch! It still rubs though but only over huge bumps. But im now happy happy happy!

Not really an update as such but the right (or left as you look at the front) full beem isnt working, i have checked all fuses and relays (unless there is another?) and still cant seem to solve it, i found a replacement bulb and that didnt help either...


but on a 'lighter' note, got my wheels back of and went to town with the grinder, now there is NO rubbing  :smiley:

Right guys and galls, got it all stripped down tonight to have a look (and put back together again in an hour and a half) and didnt really find anything substantial, the only idea i have is that the exhaust valves on cylinder 3 may be catching... here are some pics of scratches on the cams, dont think theres anything to worry about as they are on piston one (which had the original big end bearing poop itself)




this isnt as bad as it looks, the camera just caught the light right to show every tiny imperfection


and a few scratches on the 2nd inlet to cylinder one

If anyone has any suggestions please get in contact
