1) Rebuild the Sprite engine 2) Play with the Amazon.... Sort out tyres & wheel nuts for those Cosmic alloys that I bought recently so I can fit them ;D Find a good passenger side front door, get the rear end (arches, 'side valences', corner of the boot floor, below the reflectors and under the rear loadbay windows) welded, and then it's respray time!!!!* So far, I've bought: Pair front wings £275 - 1 new old stock, the other fitted to a car for just a year so basically as new (Volvo want £275 each ) Offside rear door - £20 new old stock bare door shell (an Amazon specialist would want £200 ) Driver's door, nearside rear door £25 each - second hand but vgc, with glass etc Top half of tailgate £30 - second hand but vgc I was expecting to have to pay about £150 / £200 per door, and to have to make a new tailgate top out of grp, so I'm very happy! *Sadly this won't happen for a while yet as the welding will swallow at least £1k since the bit under the windows is a sod to repair, but there's light at the end of the tunnel now! My brother has spray gear and the correct breathing apparatus so we will probably paint it ourselves next summer. In the meantime, my fiancee has forbidden me from fitting the new doors & tailgate top until they've been repainted (currently green) ;D

Because I have some bike throttle bodies for it I am considering an injection engine for the mk2 or the kit car but probably the DOHC just to be different

bus- wire up engine and fill with oil, then she'll be a runner. take for mot, then commence turbo diesel fitment. lower it a sh1t load. fresh coat of red oxide. benz- sort some rust issues. fit more stereo, 2 subs and 1 amp aint enough. lose another 2 inches of height before rcs, which will bring the total to 7 inches of drop. could someone move that crisp packet, i cant drive over it. ;D ;D ;D

Todays job was to fit the 28/36 Weber to the Nymph. Found out there is not enough room in the engine bay I didnt realise that the Nymphs engine bay was a bit more cramped the the Imps Oh well i can save the carb for the next Imp i get. I am sure i will end up getting one at some point.
