Rather than bore you with my stock-looking Sierras (still no progress yet I'm afraid!), I couldn't resist putting up a pic of my brother's latest project:-
Sorry for the poor quality photo - only had my dog'n'bone to hand...
Anyway, the car is a '60s Cooper which my Dad's boss used to race. The poor little thing had been sitting in a shed since 1970, when it was last raced - it's still got the race-series stickers on the rear quarters!
It's a circuit-only car, absolutely stripped out and de-seamed. Sadly most of the mechanicals have been gone for quite some time, but no doubt a MAD A-series will be winging it's way in fairly soon.
That's pretty much all I can remember...if you want to know more (or see his 2.0 Kadett C coupe and 2-door, soon to be RS2000-powered 100E) send an email to james@kadett.freeserve.co.uk and say "James, get your
in gear and join Retro-Rides.com!!"

they're supposed to handle pretty well, IRS! a guy down the road had a full race prepped one, MSA log book, plummed in extinguisher system, cage, external master switch, it was an 1800, but bet it went pretty well as it was totally stripped! I think he sold it in Retro Cars a few months ago, he's got a late XR4x4 now!
