not sure what engine to use ,got a 1z diesel , 1.8t with eitheir a ko3 or ko4 or a good kr engine on twin 40 webbers
so i sanded back the roof and found this . not impressed so a roof section will be found.
so i thought i put some wide wheels on this so i ve had to stretch the arch. would of built a berg cup but alot of these are being built at the moment.

after removing all the undersealer i found more rot . so i attacked all that.
then running gear refitted .
which then led me to finishing off the roof
here is how i got the roof
so the underneath is finished for now and back on the floor. just need filler work done to the roof ,rear archs and back panel and ready for primer again

i then went sanded it with p600 then gave it all another coat of primer
ended up primering the roof twice as i was not happy with it . So then i wet sanded it with p600 then p800 .
Then degreased the car and thought might aswell paint it.
so hit the shell with some colour..

so i finally finished painting all the panels .
brought a bonnet but it was full of filler and was rotting from the inside so another bonnet was found and painted.
so now i can start fitting it all back together.
so i brought a 1.8 20v turbo aum engine on the cheap to rebuild.
but then i found another engine on here and was not from from me . so a deal was made and went to collect it.
at the same time the seller was selling some mounts so i thought i ll be best to buy them aswell.
i got too excited so painted the bottom end quickly.
So on a scrapyard hunt i managed to fine a few 20 v parts . and the best find was a ko3s turbo
