Cleaning up some panel work.

Some stress cracks, so been sorting that.
It will be a different colour soon enough.

Paint.
Either satin black, or satin gunmetal grey.
Yet to decide.
Sanding/smoothing, and prepping at moment.

Noice. Should put some vids up when it's all together! I forget (though perhaps it is obvious) if you are running an aftermarket ecu? Keen on seeing what difference the ITB's make, power and sound wise.

Still a little way off, but doing what I can when time permits.

I reckon satin gunmetal would look great on it.

How much power are you hoping for?

The 6A12 Mivec engine is considered a pretty efficient engine to start with, I think the most you're going to see out of this engine (without supercharging) is 140-150 rwkw.

Go on, put a blower on it, you know you want to :twisted:

Sorry guys.. Not too much to report of late. Still going, quite slowly. Doing some body repairs/mods/updates, repaint.
