Mate u know ive always got a soft spot for any race car,,,, Drag ( my faviourite ) Circuit, Hill climb any thing
I just wanna see the bloody thing finished... n on the track

dad wont mind but my brother will mind!! lol... ive got to put the disc on the front to get it rolling to take to performance metal craft to hav a cage put around the the engine bay...
bought mine from Steve Muller in 94' with no motor or gearbox, less the brakes and rear trailing Arms,standard front beam and standard interior! I just bought the car for the shell, pan and rollcage !
What I then Did:
Stripped the car and rebuilt it with the following work by ME
#Interior: put in VDO guages, harnesses,race seat, fire extinguisher,sports steering wheel, battery isolator, and relocated battery to the spare wheel well.
#Front Suspension: Modified a "New" beam, fitted adjusters, castor spacers, camber adjusters,new balljoints,new steering box,new tierods, Bilstein shocks, country buggy beam reinforcers, whiteline swaybars, rebuilt calipers and machined discs, new bearings.
#Rear Suspension: replaced the torsion bars with Type 3, replaced all rubbers with nolethane,fitted type 3 brakes,new wheel bearings and seals. fitted whiteline swaybars, Bilstein shocks, set ride height.
#Gearbox: Built by John Spinks. I supplied all the ratios and Quaife diff. I modified all the mounts and made bracing to the rear parcel shelf.
#Brakes: Fitted all new lines, wheel cyclinders,cables, master cylinder
#Replaced all the fuel lines and fitted an electric pump
#Floorpan was fully painted with the body off.
#Engine: Pobjoy.
#Exterior: fitted new drivers door, and bumpers as well as front guards. Repaired the rust, Then did a quick respray. !!
#Wheels : Greg Wards old wide steel ones !
Then I set the height, toe in/out ,camber, swaybars to MY settings.
So what philosophy is he following CT ???
I didn't Know his car had to be fully rebuilt and completely changed from what he purchased !!!
I thought He bought one already done, the best way to buy !:jesus
Wow if it needs all this work like mine, then he has been ripped off CT.
Or Maybe you did not know how mine was when I bought it.:repuke

That would be cool .:thumb
Nice car, are you still going to sell the motor or are you keeping it ?
yeh unfortunatly i have to, to pay my mum back lol. but ill try to keep the fuel injection for another motor in the future... i must say there is a few things to do but we chose to buy this car in stead of gettin an oval shell and starting from scratch was that this car has countless hours and money spent on it... we got a page and a half of all the things that was done to the car from bumper to bumper it would reach the 30grand mark to do it now... is bulladealer on soon?
im goin to get it regestered soon so i dont have to get a log book... i have a 1997 cams manual right here too old?... im keen on any racing i just want to get out there... tell me what id hav to do from where im am now to go hillclimbing...
