If i was to go anywhere near getting a mini project, it would be like that (hopefully). beautiful, and looks like a pile of fun! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Sweet looking car - what are the engine specs, out of curiosity? Cheers again for the comments! the engine is originally from a 1275 metro, now a 1293. med Forced Induction head - 36.0 and 32.0 valves - reshaped and modified etc. +20 tho pistons dished 10cc 1.3.1 rockers reground crank i think the cam is the metro 1275 (that will be checked this winter and probably changed) T3 turbo maestro turbo carb 10 psi actuator + MBC straight through exhaust etc. mappable ignition - coil pack from a ford, edis system and meagjolt ecu - laptop etc. front mounted metro rad. alloy intercooler. lightened and balanced flywheel AP clutch and rally diaphragm jkd straight cut drops x pin diff etc there is still some work to do to the exhaust manifold and turbo elbow.. also fitted Gaz adjustable shocks and adjustable ride height, all competition running gear so i can set the camber etc. AP 4 pots etc. fiberglass front end, carbon roof , fiberglass boot and rear valance, stripped the interior and fitted a full 6 point cage, polly carb windows. tyres are road legal Yokohama Advan A048's the front end was a right curse word to fit.. took me ages!! but really happy with the finish. will mostly be testing and making adjustments on it this year. |

Out of interest how do you have it mounted at the front? (the front end that is ;D ) hinges at the bottom / front, to make it flip, over center clips in the inner wing, and bonnet pins at the back... all very tight to get a good fit. |
