Nice plans for it mate, again, you'd be an idiot if you ripped apart a low mileage sr/gte/gsi for an LET but not a 1.0, your doing it a huge favour big ridding it of its 45bhp! lol
Any idea on colour, bodystyling etc?
Does look very very minty indeed.
I'd rather see it left as it is but it's not my car.
Engine spec sounds none to shabby!
Looks stunning,great find and best of luck.On the note of ripping it to bits....
Its gone to a good owner....Its not going to end up on its roof in the middle of a roundabout (We hope). I can't see a problem.
Best of luck and will keep an eye out for this thread.

Good shell to start on. Why ruin that original paintwork for a respray??!! I take it the bay will be welded up, etc? Look forward to progress on this one. Good luck.

Are those topmounts the non adjustable ones? Just wondering why there's 4 holes in them.
non adjustable mate not shore why there are 4 holes
What made you go for the non adjustable ones over the adjustables?
how often do people actually adjust suspension once they are fitted, very little im guessing!
the car will be used on the road so i just wanted to get rid of the rubber mounts! fixed suited me fine
had some more parts today

prob aiming now for 350-380 bhp with the nortech manifold and the t34 turbo engine will be fitted with rods etc and possibly head work! yeah it will probably be down gordons at some point,
good find mate, car looks in stunning condition.
your plans for the car sound interesting aswell. good luck with the build
had another few parcels last few days
