Hi gents, 

Some of you may remember me, most will not lol 

After a 2 year (non self-enforced) hiatus from the turbo build, the project is once again back on track and plodding along. 

Long story short, the garage who agreed to do some bodywork and drop the engine in umm'd and ah'd for 18 months whilst doing no work on it. 

After taking the car back into my possession it is now with McNair Motorsport run by Lee McNair - former right hand man to Bill Richards for over 20 years. 

Anyway, to the details. 

The engine was built by Benross, 1293, T2, Turbo Phil head and all the typical internals, ARP bolts, cast pistons etc etc 

As she was when she got there:

The strip down

Tubbing the rear arches 

 

 

Trial fitting the arches 

 

So the plans to come are: 

Fully adjustable suspension all-around which is in the process of being fitted. 
KAD Internal gear linkage, brake masters, pedal box and 4 pots
Respray (Colour opinions still welcome!) 
Full cage 
Carbon dash 
AEM gauges 

New seats w/ retrim

 

The rear squab seat has been removed and so too have the back pockets. All the sound deadening was there before.

 

 

 

So happy with how things are progressing. 

 

Paint has been decided and once the final parts of bodywork have been completed, it'll be off to get a new lick of colour.
