MK1 1.3 SR -------> 2.0 16v SR
Well the tax has run out so the project starts!!!
i will try and keep this up to date as much as possible.
A little about the project.
Base car is a 1988 1.3 sr fairly bog standard. im the 4th owner and paid ?485 for it. Dosnt seem to be any rot anywhere and the under side is as clean as the body. there has been no welding apart form a tiny plate in the boot.
i have ran the car for 6 months which has given me time to source parts for the build.
so far i have the following.
bilstein b9's with XE springs.
some speedlines
No way! Keep the trims, looks old-school!
F322 BSM -- a Dumfries reg i see -- whos old car is that? or whos car is it now?
Vaughan
Also:
Xe out of a cav gsi 2000 (for insurence reasons!)
this has been stripped and the crank, flywheel and rods balenced and lightened. The head is away being flowed and ported. it will be getting some fast road cams aslo. i havnt decided on fueling yet.
Shafts baught off a guy on here out of a LET nova.
Chris Astley mount set.
Bigger brakes.
i will update as much as possible but only have 1 day a week to work on it so progress will be slow.
ive given myself 6 months to do it as its such a good shell i want to do the best job possible!
sounds good mate! good to hear your going to do the best job possible and not something rushed
i plan to keep the looks and interior as they are. im thinking about a fibleglass boot and bonnet and also perspex windows.
i plan on getting a local sign writer to make up new vinal for the boot the same as standard but with 2.0SR as apposed to 1.3SR.
car looks really nice mate, i'd love a car like that, plans sound good keep us posted
