I'm a Happy Boy

Picked up my first Kit Car today 
. It is an MK Indy with from what I can tell is a standard 2.0 Pinto engine, and a 5 speed gearbox. I am all
really new to the Kit Car scene and have just gleened what info I can from this forum in the last weeks or so.
Managed to pick the car up locally, and is essentially my replacement fun item as I no longer have my Bikes.
I will be asking loads of question no doubt (sorry in advance), and am more than happy to accept help
Took my 2 sons out (seperately of course), and the 12 year old absolutely loved it. Postitive reaction from the public is nice. I thought my
1-series M-sport was quite hard and handled well - but this is a whole new level - as I am sure you all know.
I will enjoy it as is at the moment, but would be interested in releasing a few extra horses pretty soon.
Sorry for going on, but I guess you have all been there before......

I think it says "compomotive" on them. Thanks for the comments guys, think I have found a good'n here . It is not perfect by any
means, and pictures can be a little flattering. I wil be posting for help and advice over the next few weeks, to get a couple of things sorted 
First thing I may try and sort is the fuel gauge - It has a gauge but is not being used. It seems the wiring is there at the tank, but no sender
unit.

Biker and horses give it away

I think 2 things amy put me off the BEC route.
1) Would like to keep it a little less hard core.
2) I would not have a clue how to go about it

Didnt really pick or go for the colour - Just circumstance really, as a local sale came up through a friend. But yes, I do like it
