Evening people,

Well I'm sure alot of people no the car i have bought as its an awesome piece of kit lol

bout it 9th of december and I've just been working with it since

first of all i got it for a steal of a price but have done a few bits to it to sort it out

I've replaced the complete lighting loom and engine loom as i beleave it had been run on bike carbs so loom had been chopped about.

had to put idle contol valve in as had been taken out and pipes blocked off

I've relocated the battery back to the original place lowerd the car 80mm

put a knife edged throttle body on it belaved to be kirlys old one

also manged to get a genuine safty devices cage off ebay again for a steal of a price my lucks in the year so far:)

got a pair of bucket seats and harnesess for it bought the frames of ebay defanatly not recomneded such poor quality:(

All i can say is the engine performance is awesome should be good fun once i get it on the road:)

and no I'm not getting at the previous owner if it seems like i am i bought it cheap knowing it needed bits and pieces:)

well enough off the chat here the pics sorry if there poor quality

flocked dash will be nice, i'd be tempted to make some light weight doorcards, suit the track style proper.

wanna buy the arches for it to save posting them on a for sale thread?!

na not the look I'm going for lol cheers anyway

Nice looking car..

Do you have any problem getting the seats in and out of the car with the roll cage in there? Or does the vertical bits fo the cage and the cage feet obstruct it?

Also is the seat fully back in this photo? Or would you have any problem running the seat fully back?

100_0393.jpg

The reason I ask is I have the same cage but I haven't fitted it yet and the car is at the body shop. I'm going to have road seats and track seats so I need to be able to swap them in easily.

Cheers,

Mark
