The car is under going a major change body and Engine spec and though would post the progress so far

It started like this

The Engine and interior was removed and of it went to the body shop and has came back like this

Next job to be done was to get the front end together and get the intercooler mounted

After the bumper had been made to fit Autobahn was sprayed on

The engine has been stripped here is a few bits

The block and heads have been sent of to be altered

And will be back at some point next week and let the engine build commence

Had to make the inlet manifold look more attractive so a clean an a lick of high temp paint later

I will add to the post as the project goes on

cheers
Martin

I have to say the original colour with black bonnet and rear spoiler made it look like the fastest taxi in the UK

and i quite like the new colour, it's different.

Pics are great though, and those shots of the ports and valves are a bit of intimate porno if you ask me :devil: but i look forward to next instalments with interest.
