exhausts from the back  pulled the rear seal off, and filled it with multipurpose sealant as there was a leak,  lots of rain recently and no leaks stuck in a cd changer  and a old cassette player  |

been 2 months since i updated it, and i drove the car throughout october and the start a november everyday, stuck 5 people in it went all over the place, the onlt realy problems were the MPG and the gearbox has been making some noise when you lift of the acclerator. done about 600miles in it and it has great fun, had a few near misses tryign to get it to stop in the wet, people seem to purposly cust in front of you etc cos you in an old car. and i did notice that people in modern cars don't like having an old car up behind them in the outside lane of the motorway |

Love the exhausts dude! I'm gonna have to do the same with my rear window seal as I get a puddle on my boot floor Is that some sort of Wizardry going on up the road in that last pic? Looks like he might be washing his car with some sort of magic??!  ;D |

Nice bit of old school cool there mate - I considered putting some crapi pots on my XR because they are wider but not sure of the offset... BMW lights are a nice touch  |

well its been 18 months since the last update, the cars been fine but i just don't enjoy it as i find it a bit slow, and not entertaining enough so now i have got this  once thats in a running well, i plan to get some welding sorted on the car, my overall plans for the car are tofiberglass wings and bonet then xpack it with 7.5 rs reps and turbotail, keeping it green and having the stripes re made. i also need to buy a house with a garage to fit it in so i wont get it painted until then. |

looks good - i'll be following this!
I was looking at the 2.9 conversion into a pinto shell for mine...but i'm probably not now, and i'll go 2.0i (if I can ever find one!). I got most of the bits I needed - 2.8i tank & cross member. I wasn't sure about fitting of the cross member - as being a pinto shell the front two chassis rails needs the guide holes drilling out/a tube fitted?
I also didn't know what to do about the exhaust - but if you can do those bits yourself, you're laughing ;D
