Hi All,
I am currently working on a 1.4sr facelift finished in red.

The list to date consists of

Fully rebuilt c20xe
Fully rebuilt f20 with modified ratios
new passenger quarter
new drivers rear arch
new rear valance
new bulkhead
New strut tops
new front panel
new slam panel
Refurbished wings with golf mark 4 side repeaters proffesionally grafted in.
Fully seam welded and smoothed engine bay Painted matt black
speedlines painted in rover tungsten grey
also irm soft stars in mit evo silver
all windows legal smoke tint
clear rear lights
lowered on spax top adj 40mm
outer body is painted Ford Rosso Red (i know i know)
I had a nova before and sent it to regal to be turned into a redtop but the job was shocking. It lasted 12k before all welds had split and was rotting thru, not a bad way of spending 4k thou,

Anyway cant take credit for most the work as i was given the car buy my bro as a returned favour for me giving him his first car a 1,3sr.

It was owned by my friend for 8 years where he done most the work in his parents garage he's a body worker by trade.

I had the rear valance, passenger 1/4 & all the prep work for the respray.
Anyway hoping to further the list and when its finished get out on track days.
Prob bored ya all to death but cheers anyway
Mike

been a while since i've updated this so here goes.
I'm hopefully a week off hearing it running its had countless hours spent on it
and i've never heard the redtop running it was rebuilt around ten years ago and
has only been cranked over manually to keep things from seizing.
