I bought this to replace my motorbike ( due to having my little boy ) I wanted something fun, cheap and reliable for road and track days.

Simple....

Some of you may recognise the car, back in the day it was really well done. Since then it has had quite a few owners. It had been stripped of all it's good parts and at some stage someone had done some seriously botched work on it.

I got the car for a good price and have done all the work myself, hasn't cost me too much and was REALLY fun on my track day at castle combe a few weeks ago.

Will put up some more detail but I believe ( can't prove ) that it's about 100bhp and I have stripped it out as much as possible so it goes really well and the corner speed is impressive.

Good bit of fun.

E bay bargain, got these seats for £60!!!!

They are so comfy and suit the cars age really well I think. Got the cage ( which was for fiesta ) for £100 and I cut and re welded it. Fits really well.

This is the first time I've ever posted on a forum so I'm sorry if I am not doing it correctly by posting in bits. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

Cheers

Very nice indeed.

You can get black leather gear stick gaiters from eBay with red stitching if you fancy something else on the same theme.

I like the car, very tastefully done.

Hey thanks man,

That's really nice to hear. Thanks mate.

As I have reached the end of my budget (2k) and adding more power isn't an option so stripping as much weight out as possible is my aim. Thanks for the suggestion but a gait or is like 3 grams!!!

I have also just bought my first house so I have been working on my garage build thread!!!

Before and after of my man cave for the polo to live in.
