Some of the modifications it has had while its been apart

rear disc conversion and the wheels it will be sat on....drums =


AP's for the front


315mm rotors and bells


Brakes fitted to the front


Its also got polly bushes and Koni's as well as other things....

Next time i will buy something mint to modify . Must admit it has been an experience and quite a bit of fun.

A few items...i plan on using it on the track occasionally.....its a 3rd car so its not needed for anything else

'H' section steel rods
Forged pistons
Lower compression ratio
Ported head
Large intercooler
Large turbo
A few other mods as well

Plus a strong gearbox....probably Quaife straight cuts with a Trans X plated diff

My first experience of a proper Turbo car was my mates 1985 RS Turbo. Excellent car. The competition at the time was 16v Astras!

Glad to see there's going to be at least one minter out there!

Looks like you're doing a superb job.

No!! Body work is not my forte` unfortunately so i paid for the body to be restored by a friend of mine and the bits i can do (mechanical and electrical) i did myself.

I did buy all the tools needed to do the bodywork (which are now sitting dormant) so if i do get another project i have all the facilities.
