Bodywork was getting a bit scruffy in a few places, sorting that out totally.... Trying to get an even more glass like finish...

17's are on the cards.

Lovely new engine and gearbox.

More CF inside (door cards/rear side cards, dashboard bits)

Porsche gauges in 1303 dash (when I get around to it!) bright white illumination (or thinking RGB and a simple randomiser, different random colour each time the ignition comes on push button to change to another random colour....)

Rear disk brakes will happen sometime

Lighter seats is quite likely.

Got some nice stereo gear to go back in (http://imagedynamicsusa.com/website/...s/image002.gif)

Planning the car to be finished to a higher standard than before....

Gonna take me a year or two to get where I want to be!

Cya,
SamC

An artist is never truly finished with their work, right? :agree:

Aint that the truth.

If I really did finish the car I would get bored and want to get something else!

Had a break from the normal car over the last 12 months and built this:

Fancied doing something different, was a CHEAP car (friend was gonna scrap her due to dodgy electrics), fixed her totally up then traded her in for a modern car! Saved me a small fortune doing that. She's now happily living with a gentleman from the city near where I live.

Cya,
Sma C

Sam, Thanks for the whopper of an order!

Most of it is ready to ship immediately!

Only thing that will take some time is the heads, that'll be about a month..

Good call, you'll love it. Which kit did you get? CF DTM? A-1 header? Ceramic lifters? Enjoy.

congrats. i can assure you that you will love the engine. i know have a 2316 TIV in a bug and a 2110 T1 in a Ghia. there is absolutely nothing like the kick in the a$$ of the TIV torque band...especially a RAT 2270.

Cheers for the comments peeps.

Already got a T4 (1970cc), so I know what the torque's like... Just upgrading to something with a chunk more power/torque
