Hi guys - thanks for the repiles, I'll get a thread created for it then!
There's a bit of a following on old 'Max Power' style cars and it seems to be getting a bit of a resurge, It isn't going to be a quick build but I'm going to try and get a day a week on it in between work and other things. I'm based in South Wales, the car is in our shop at Bridgend.
Plans, new wheels - it had 7x19 RS GT wheels that were too far in the arches, back arches were standard so going to cut them back and fit 20's at the back and 19's on the front - with a decent fit.
The rust isn't too bad really, a few plates here and there and then refit the kit and make a few adjustments here and there.
Strip the car to the shell (bar the dash) and bare metal, epoxy prime and then just rebuild.
Polybush everything I can and refurb control arms, etc
Probably have a light rebuild on the engine and looking for a turbo kit - I don't want crazy power for this but just something with a bit of poke )and so you can see the turbo through the front vent!)
Fibreglass install as there are no rear seats - I was going to get some but realised how little room there is anyway so don't see the point - this will still be a 'show car' so only plan to drive it a few times a month or so. I'll keep the boot pretty 'free' to carry stuff properly. Looking at some new front seats as the others were too high - I was hitting my head on the roof and the steering wheel was touching my legs
- I'm only 6ft too...
Still deciding on paint, have a few ideas but I'll see closer to paint time on what we'll do.
