my mum bought me this after chritmas time for £300< back axel was gone and had no mot or tax> i undergone a project and heres what i have done
sandblasted a fresh vts axel new bearings and powerflex bushes
sandblasted calipers/ disk gaurds/ stuts/ wishbones/ arb/ and put polybuses in the wishbones and arb all sprayed also
undersealed the whole car
bought a saxsport exhaust
raceland 4-2-1
bmc induction kit
new pads all round
lowered 60 front and 70 rear
smoked headlights and rears
xr2 i recaro seats in the front on sparco subframes
made a boot build
thats all i can think of but there will be more also< i have a turbo kit to go on will get a pic of it but most of it is at my dads. all comments/ideas welcome and before the slating begins i hate the side skirts but cant be arsed to change them ( dimma concept ) if anyone wants them haha

yeah the pic of the engine is the new one,nothing fancy yet as it will be coming back out to sandblast block/ gearbox head and the bay also. when it happend i was only going 65/70 down a dual carrigeway and it was like a headlight dropped out and all the shrapnel hitting the underside of the car but when it was vibrating and temp gauge went right up i knew it was a rod haha nevermind
