Here is my HF Turbo trackday/hillclimb project, labour of love and all that! Pictures say 1000 words so I'll post a few here and a link to the whole story - there are 7 pages full of photos so good luck. The reason for lack of comments is that I'm a Mod on that forum and use it as a kind of blog, so delete comments that are not directly relevant after a month or so. Keeps everything tidy and saves it from turning from a 7 page writeup into a 10 page epic.
A little history about the car- It had originally been owned by a taxi company in Didcott and found its way down to the south west. When it eventually ended up in my hands for the princely sum of £200 I was its 13th owner, although looked after in its early days and fairly well waxoyled it had had a pretty hard life in the south west. It had met a post office at pretty high velocity needing new bumper bonnet headlights and a wing and had also rolled off its handbrake into a lamp post. So after I bought my Integrale Evo I gave it to my Dad as his workplace had moved out of driving distance. Not long after that I borrowed it, got the brakes hotter than they'd ever been down a long hill and brake-faded my way into an armco at about jogging pace causing wing, bumper and headlight damage. Then a week later my Dad parked it out on the hill without putting it into gear, naturally it rolled about 20 metres downhill and parked itself on a lampost (again!). Luckily it was on the front corner that I'd pranged the week before, but this time it caught the bonnet. Fixed it all up and sometime later was sold onto a friend of mine who lowered it, stripped the interior and painted it matt black! After he got bored of it I bought (saved!) it back and cellulose-thinnered the matt paint off. That's pretty much where this story starts, from a standard stripped out car to the race monster it's becoming now!
Anyway I hope you enjoy it!
Here is a link to the uninterrupted project writeup which shows everything I've done since day one. The only posts are mine so its nice and easy to look through, about 7 pages FULL of photos-
