Well this is my project, bought it with Ractive exhaust and air filter and welded diff! So far all ive done is strip the interior and fit an OMP towing eye(Very important!!!)

Have lots of plans for it though

Bucket seats and harnesses
Hydraulic handbrake
Lower it
Roll cage
Respray in green
Cover it with stickers
And maybe eventually put a crazy engine in it.

Will keep this updated wit progress!

Well haven't updated this in a while but got a good bit done
Have hydro handbrake fitted. Got it from optimum balance products (www.obp.uk.net) and the first lever bent very easily so I got on to them and them came up with a new design and sent it out for free. Was good to see a company listening to customers

Fitted bucket seat and harnesses, have a second bucket seat to go into it before mondello

Fitted redstuff pads all around, they make some major difference! :eek:

Car is resprayed nissan green apple, really suits it!

Bought 5 spoke borbet alloy wheels and resprayed them in gold.

I will upload better pics when I get them. Just want to thank Wayne of W.C Autorepairs for allowing me to use his yard and shed while doing to work and all the work he done on it, especially for the spray job!

Also thanks to P and Yowdy for the help and advice they gave

Maroon... ughh...

It's like that horrible brown colour that all cars used to come in in the 70s... it's like wtf were people thinking offering a car with that as a standard colour? :rolleyes:

Ha the pics of it in the older colour actually make it look better than it was! Horrible bland colour! Nothing to make it stand out at all!

Ha thats the truth! And what kind of people bought these cars in that colour, surely more colour options available! Specially in 92 when my beemer was made!

Just a little update, its now running a 2.5 engine. Day and night difference over the 2 litre! Having said that its a bit hard on gearboxes so I may sort that out! 2 boxes in 2 days out! :eek:
Overall the car stands me less than 2 grand and hasn't given me too much trouble!
