so i first got it on the road with the 12A in it,

done some brake and suspension work and general bring up to safe conditions, to get an MOT (WOF)

then the more power bug kicked in as usual, see above for how it ended up

i could waffle on about what was done etc, but im sure you dont really want to hear it all lol

 

but i did build it KIWI styles, K&N outta the bonnet, people really looked weirdly at it and asked WHY ? i just said a kiwi thing lol

then i fitted the gilmer pullies/belt etc, got the same reaction, but also "there is something wrong with your car its making funny noises" lol

had wee chuckles alot lol

 

so on with the pics and video updates soon enough, well when i can find them

some sad pictures of her after all the work id done, took her out for a road test as was going to a car show the next day, hadnt driven her in ages

and a twat drove into the back of me, wrote her off, but i got her back and fixed her up

had to use a series 3 petrol tank as couldnt find a non rusty/holey series 2, had to redo the exhaust as was well bent

man was i peevedoff to say the least, not easy keeping an old rare car on the road in uk,

replacement parts arent accessible and insurance companies dont care a hoot
