i made a housing for the pollen filter and will be making a top plate for it soon

going in the garage tomorrow done some more but gunna get some pix tomorrow will update then hope you like so far

Great work mate, progress is coming along nicely. Your a brave man polishing so many parts of the engine bay, polishing that gearbox once it's back in will be a ridiculous job. How come you didn't go with an engine conversion? As you've put all the leg work into stripping it out

it is a conversion in a way coz it used to be a 1.4 8v but now going for the 16v didn't really wanna be spending more money and time doing a different engine coz i'm not really into power anyways just like it to look nice

Fair enough dude, I'm one for presence over power also.

Just read fru ya whole thing buddy and yeah fair does mate looks good.......

But this is gona be WELL HEAVY. Sounds update at all????

heavy??? how?

Becouse off ur sound system, filler, mdf, fibre glass....

Ul deffo notice a difference wont ya pal?????

ah well sound system isn't going in anymore but yeah it would of been very heavy lol

Ah writ fair enough mate, how come no sounds???

i will be putting some in but no sub coz need room for air ride

just an update on the bay and engine

right guys sorry i haven't been on for a while but heres how the car is coming on.

just some pix of what i've been working on.
i've stripped all the old paint and rust off these and had both the subframe and anti rollbar powder coated



powerflex bushes in the wishbones

bogg brothers told me the size of these carbs will give me around 25 - 30 bhp more so looking at around 150bhp with fast rd cams and exhaust









sprayed the bay here is the finished article















got these powdercoated











few things i been up to on the head, finished polishing it and cleaned and re polished all the valves only took 3 hours of my life to do lol









just need to grind the valves change the valve seals and then get the head skimmed and pressure tested.

got my rear beam back from powdercoating and started building it back up the other day
put my new stub axles on and camber scimz, 2 at each side should have a nice stance.

.









put the calipers on for size

sorry about pic size
