Well i planed to re paint it , but ended up with a new body,

Then a full cage

Fitted new wheels and tryes and disks all round,

That was the original plan,

Then found out the engine not a proper cossi and on its way out so,////

Got a propper Cossi lump,, then decided i might as well go the whole way and change the to a T5 box, a cossi Diff and drive shafts

Cost about 9k to refurb it, If i could start again i would have just got MK to build me a new one
