nice pics greg thanks for that.. think silver is a bit too bright for a white car… not sure though
i thought the gold was very old skool!

wheels in my sig pic are long gone, they were old skool oz deep dish rims… used to be diamond cut, then i polished them, took me 7 hours each… polishing was too much as i used to run them all winter everyday!
well im planning a wheel restoration business, so i spose once set up i can change between black, gold, silver for each day of the week… lol

You often see on ebay MK1's for sale with different engines but it looks like they've just been thrown in - yours looks well tidy. Nice! 8) (No, I'm not at all jealous! :mrgreen: )

Hat off to you G60RGE!! They look the business. It's one smart conversion you've done, clean engine bay.

lol thanks mate, always looking for ways of making the engine bay neater!
kins! that sounds like its gonna be a quick car! that was my initial plan with my car, had a grant motorsport stage three head wiv big valves, kent gs2 cam.was on the hunt for the buble block when i changed my mind and went 16v, that was gonna push 170bhp i reckoned.. had the biggest valves possible, tsr didnt even make them bigger.. but the head needed skimming and blasting and blew over budget coz i didnt add bits in like the vernier pully, dizzy adaptor etc etc
good luck with that should be rapid! i really wonder wot that engne would have been like.. would have deff been faster than my 16v at the moment in standard form…

Ive only gone for a pack a head. Would have loved big valves but I'm running on a tight budget as it is. I'm going to be living on beans and packet noodles next month :cry: . But I'll have a big smile on my face once shes finished.
