Well some people might remember this car from a year or so a go when I last posted about my car.
Its gone through a bit of a transformation.
Basically I brought the car as a none running project and set about sorting it out.
I soon found out that the engine was totally US and decided to source another engine. I did give serious consideration to upgrading it to the M50 as I do deal with the E36 range all day long as a specialist breaker of them.
Anyway after about 18 months of thinking about doing something with it I finally did. I decided that because it had taken me soooo long to even make a start on it that I better just stick what was in it back in.
So cue another M10 and a weber conversion carb.
After finally getting it running it was MOT time. To my utter amazement it passed first time with a few minor warnings. I was gob smacked, especially considering it had been sitting unused inside my workshop for basically 2 years!!
With the car now legal it was time to get the styling sorted!
The wheels were to first things that were changed and I came across a set of Keskins. Not to sure on the model number I think they might be KT3's but anyway they are 9" at the back and 8" or 8.5" at the front.
They were originally on a seat ibiza, hence the stretched tyres but in reality I dont think this car needs the stretch but it looks sorta euro for having it so I will leave them as they are till they are due for a change.
Yesterday I paid a visit to Powerflow and had them make a manifold back system with a twin exit. I decided that the exit was best to look oem in a way so I went for a very simple plain looking tailpipe. I also ensured that the exhaust was of a reasonable volume and had a powerflow centre box added.
This is how she now looks today....
So after months of wishing it was done, trying to sell it as a project, finally pulling my finger out and getting it on the road this is how she stands.
My only current gripe is the paint. It needs a paint job to bring it back to its former glory and I have to admit I'm not to number 1 fan of yellow.
Black is potentially on the cards.... this month however she has cost me enough so maybe next month
looks alot better!!! and sounds it! cliffebabe on here has those alloys i think!! i quite like them!! definialty needs a colour change though and black would be cool! 
Or Vulcan grey is a nice solid colour
