So the poor chap being shouted at not to waste his money on his 8v has finally led me to putting some pics of this winters efforts on here for you to have a look at. I spent a lot of time making this work and have done all the work myself, apart from paint and setting the carbs.

I went against the grain and wasted my money on my 8v, it may only be making slightly more power then a 16v but it looks better, goes better and sounds amazing.

So enough jibber jabber, and q's just ask. Would to hear your thoughts!!

My 80yr old lady neighbour says it looks very shiny and should there be an engine under there.. Bless her.

Thanks boys.  :shocked:
Nearly makes all the hours in my freezing garage striiping all the seam sealer out of the bay worth it...  :laugh:


If any one else has carb'd a MK3 I'd love to see some pics...
