Perfection
Decided it is time to get the car absolutly how I want it.. been chiselling away at it (literally) but over the next few months the fussy head can go on and anything I am not 110% happy with can get changed..
brief history.. bought the car as a rolling shell off a friend Steven Darley.. car had previously been owned by Alan Bell.. so was known..
As the car arrived..
it met my two criteria.. green and cheap..
it had the original engine with it but I wan't intending using it
engine in (2.5 with MD321T)
needing a clean but running after 4weeks of my spare time
after some TLC

Car has done over 20k since I had it running in April..
but currently off the road with no interior.. due to halfway through cage fitting
this being the first task.. remove unwanted weight from the car and fit cage..
roof lining has been removed, matting behind dash on bulkhead has gone, all panels in boot have gone, airbag control unit and wiring and sensors removed...
the floor sound proofing chiselled off

plan is
2.35l with v6 heads and wildcams..
rotated MD321T to start with running at around 2bar boost
but I intend powder coating or painting anything and everything..
I hate the car off the road so as much of the engine I will build up before removing this one
I am not sure whether to stick with the ppg straight cut gearset I have in it now which I love the noise of or if I will shredd it and should just go to 6speed.. I am speccing everything to take over 600 if I choose to bolt the appropriate turbo on.

Love the colour too, nice to see something different.

did you add any of the dish cloths that were behind panels I presume to stop interior noises?? there were several in the roof lining and behind side panels
rather ironic with how loud it is inside now with no sound proofing and a straightcut gearset
