Are you a professional painter or do you just have a go at it? Because the Mk1 was pretty epic as well

and no mater what anyone says please colour code the side strips. there is a reason all the 1.2ers do it. its because they look horrible textured and black. no need to ruin an otherwise outstanding car.

This looks fantastic! I'd love to have the skills to do something like this as it looks like a lot of achievement.

Bring it to FCS if you're going ;)

i dont know! I have no luck at all, All bolts are always replaced when i rebuild the engine, even the flywheel ones, and i use a snap on digital torque wrench so i know there all torqued up right. I think the shock of the putting it in 2nd from top of 3rd could have caused the issue, the clutch wouldnt slip as its a helix paddle so it didnt


Ok Paul, lets use it as a promo car and you can sell me the bits megga cheap ;)

Nice work andy :) Get those side strips painted gloss black and it will look nice. OEM look doesn't suit it. Great paint work btw ;)
