The Project car after two weeks so far as fitted, New Genuine front bumper, Mk1 surround(grille on back order), all important air horns, works lamp bracket, 4x Cibe Oscar Plus lamps, halogen head lamp units, clear indicators, Genuine(only the best) Sports pack wheels and arches with yokohama A539 tyres, stainless sill trims, play mini exhaust, K&N filter, alloy interior door fittings, mountney steering wheel and a complete set of new switches. Original HiLo's and GAZ shocks are waiting to be fitted. The whole car needed a little tidying up and still needs new seals all round. The engine was running badly and ended up pulling the whole fuel injection system apart only to find the vacuum feed pipe for the ECU blocked with fuel, it now runs somewhere near decent. The brakes wern't up to much either so the pads and shoes were replaced checking everything and found a rear wheel cylinder siezed, this is just waiting to be fitted but at least it now stops in a straight line even with this.
So on to the project engine. I've been at this project only a little at a time since February this year collecting parts mainly on the worlds greatest mail order catalogue Ebay(well it is if you know what you are looking for)and is, well, the ultimate A series ungine build, 16 valves, 1275cc, turbo charged, electronic fuel injection and ignition. I'M still at the moc up stage, but the block will be going off for machining very soon and I'm now in posession of a brand new crank.
Your questions and views would be much apreciated, but until the engine is complete there will remain a certain amount of secrecy :cheese:
