Hi, I have a White mk1 Suzki Swift Gti which needed home in 2012. So I gave home and was hoping to get it restored but floor wasn't very good. So I have asked a good friend of mine to conver it and store it same time.  It has now Subaru Justy(re-badged Swift AWD) floor pan and running gear of it. This was carried out in 2013 and I have waited paitiantly for next 4 years... Where this car was kept was next to sea and salty air and non protected metal made these nice holes to my welded in cage!  So all of my roll cage was taken out and getting 3mm plate are to be welded in. When it was done, floor was in excellent condition but salty air is no good. My other friend is building this car for me now and should finish in 4 weeks time to pass MOT. Cheers Atchi |

Hi, It has been long time since I have updated. My friend Andy has been working on my car for a while. He has managed to weld 3mm plate in and painted floor black.  Also, I have made a RAM horn maifold to take GT series turbo charger. To start off with GT17 off Saab with 2.5" down pipe.  I just finished making this today. The engine itself has a full block brace, H-beam conrods, knife edged crankshaft, K-serise steel liners and 76mm vitra pistons.   I will be running Injector Dynamics 750cc injectors with Adaptronics ECU. Cheers Atchi |

Hi, Long time no update. My car has been very slowly worked on by my friend in his spare time. My car is finally ready for MOT but same time I'm getting a proper roll cage welded in. This roll cage will be normal 6 point plus many cross bars and also connected to front struts as well. My dash is off.  Completely empty! Car getting loaded and away.  Next time I see this baby, I will have WRC spec roll cage! Cheers Atchi |

Finally, my cage is in along rust replacement! Also, rear wheel arch is modified to take coil over just in case I want to do this in the future.     Cheers Atchi |

Hi, I haven't been working on my car for a while.... Today, I worked on rear spolier. My OEM was bit rusty and got it fixed with FRP about 1 year ago but unfortunately started to rust again. my white paint is coloured with brown line coming down so I dug my spoiler from BMW Mini Cooper Works race car spoiler. I designed in CAD and bent in few ways to get it what it looks right.. I hope you people like it!   It is still 30mm too wide so I need to cut it to suit! Cheers Atchi |

I was down south for a bit where my car is. So I took off OEM with very much difficulty then trial fitted my spoiler.  As you can see, it has gone rusty from inside. This is trial fit everyone... don't shot me for it. But...  It looks OK, if I may say so myself... |
