Sure its gettin there as I said before going with a 1300xflow freshly built hope it will do the job

English axle tramp bars and (watts- dont quite know how that will go with regs in Ireland yet)

Tranx-Lsd 4.1 final drive

Quaife s/c 4 speed single piece prop

Mk1 Rs front struts have genuine mk2 adj grp4's but dont think i can use them in a mk1, Bilsteins all round

W/c Cross member 2.5 quickrack 22mm arb

M16 calipers vented discs

All the usual safety bits for rallying cage seats etc

Most of the stuff going in is new costing plenty of £££ but sure it will be worth it

[Hoogi]

Very interesting............some great fab work going on as well. :D

[graham John]
