Hello Guys. Ive just bought this car and looking forward to giving it some loving and a new lick of paint This will be my build thread and show pictures of its evolution from now to 'wow' ! Thanks to the two past owners (both off here I believe) for keeping her in great shape - it just passed Mot so I'm pleased with my new toy. Plans are to strip down and repaint / repair rust and address similar issues. Possible engine swap down the line for a bit more power. Maybe some new seats and some other tweeks to make her a bit more up to date with how she drives I run a small intercooler business (www.universal-intercoolers.co.uk) and have had a few past projects like an MX5 turbo which I had 3 times in 10 years cheers Dan
