johns mk one sr valver w.i.p

[JSeymour]

decided to do a work in progress thread.....

the car; phase 1 sr.standard trim, done 56,000 miles and no rust so perfect for a redtop.
engine; thatl be coming out of a 120,000mile cally(high mileage but seems a goodun, doesnt smoke or tap and seems to pull the cally well so should be fine in the nova)

the plans;

engine will stay pretty much standard, exhaust, induction kit, power cap etc. like the clean bay look so will hide wires and move wiper fluid tank and so on. probaly be painted white and have some cosmetic stuff under the bonnet.

interior, the dash has to go gsi dash and interior to be fitted with digi dash and some funky dials where the heater nobs are, steering wheel and thats pretty much it.

bodywork will stay how it is, respray the bumpers a darker colour and remove the vynal of the side. door locks and intercaitors will be removed but not until the main stuff is out the way. euro light(twin fog) and clear front indercaitors

suspension/chassis, spax rsx coilovers, chris astley motor sport cassis kit, strut brace's front and rear..
