Default Project racecar/ track day car

Hi guys this is my first project thread so bear with me. I have decided to build my bugeye as was sat for 2 years with bottom end failure. I'm building it to compete in sprints hill climbs and trackway fun, the car will still be able to be road legal so I can take it to shows and bits like that.

Well I've just had a full weld in cage fitted

When car comes back I will remove look completely and start stripping it to bare essentials.
Then will get whole inside painted white .

Whilst it's been getting its cage I've been getting a load of bits together more to post later

Thanks James

Mdx555-500 for now will run that a max performance with race fuel and see what she does on the 2.35 then look to change to a Borg Warner efr unit meant to be crazy good

With massive help from daz Davies is sending me images and a how to guide for modifying my fuel sender unit and this is the end result
