Bugeye rebuild
As of August last year i had my bugeye sti crashed into by some little muppet that still wont admit that its his fault, but anyways the insurance wrote it off and cat c it.
I then bought the car back and have now purchased another bugeye shell that is now gonna be the basis for my project where i am looking to facelift it to a hawkeye with a wrc kit on it and then fully forge the engine with either a 2.1 or 2.3 stroker kit and go for a rotated turbo set up.
My mate has built me a decent size unit on his farm in the middle of know where to do this so i have no time scale for this and cause of that there is no real budget, if i want something i will save and buy it and it will be complete when its complete.
If anyone has done any of the bits that i am looking to do then your advise would be great to help me along the way suppliers etc.
this is what she did look like:
this is after the crash:
It had damaged the floor pan and also snapped the hub in half, i have owned her for about 3 years and spent so much money on her i couldnt just let her go so that is how this project is starting, here is the shell that it is all gonna happen to
