Hi all I recently did a job for a lad at my garage which included engine swap, hand cleaned engine bay and block also coillover upgrade and the best oils/additives I could give him...in return he gave me this ...

It started life as a 318 but had the m20b25?? 2.5 fitted along with a welded diff, its got drums on the back so im guessing its using the 318 diff.

So far all ive done to her is had some 10mm spacers made, fitted these along with the 17" mini gp rep wheels, fitted both ultra strutbraces (came brand new with the car) cut the ridiculous rear arches down as lad before me had 11j wheels fitted :0 and also bodged a ford intake setup in as the idle was all over due to air leaks (ill get round to returning to standard at one point but runs sweet now so it's fine

Now time for some more pics :)
Front grilles repaired and a new lick of paint

Front strut brace with modified intake looks mint imo :)

Love these rims

Im sure I was told this car had been on here before so if anyone has any pics or info id like to find out more about its life. ..

Plans are mainly for drifting but also itll be a demo car for my company auto-medic so will have to be able to drive to meets shows etc, I fancy coilovers, rubber arches as mine are tatty and need sorting, old school dtm backbox ;), my mate in the unit next door is a vinyl wrapper so she'll probably end up with a nice new colour scheme at some point, mechanically it needs rear disks, probs a new gearbox as the stick is like a floppy cock, better diff and a good service n rust taken care off :)

Im writing thisnon my phone so I apologise about spelling punctuation etc

Yeah shes pretty solid stood for 3 years in a garage with a new battery it fired straight up, rust wise theyres a few bits as to be expected although front wondow srea looks clean, arches as said will be taken back protected then running rubber extensions. I love this motor, it slides for fun and the fact it only cost me the better part of 200 pound im not complaining :)
