Thought I'd stick a project thread up about my car.
Purchased it a couple of years ago now, didn't really need much at first. The viscous was knackered so I fitted an electric fan.
MOT'd it went to Silverstone classic in it and left it in my lock up for the best part of a year.
anyway got it out ths year, fitted some wheels,few vitesse bits, removed the tow bar.
The head gasket went, so I did that. Then it dropped a valve so I managed to get a replacement engine fitted that and its been sweet since.
The plan is to v8 it eventually or stick summat different in with some better wheels some Work miesters or summat. But for now this is how it is.
anyway onto some pics.
When I first got the car
