My New Old Pug

[Sir_Dave]

Nice shed

With cams & ITB's, that should be a genuine 165bhp or so. Which in a stripped Rallye, will be pretty obscene, like 230bhp per ton lol.

Cheers mate, pretty happy with it at the moment.

 

[Sanders]

Sounds nice mate, liking the pops

 

[subarufreak]

wouldn't it have been easier to take the seatbelts off at the back instead of masking them up?

 

[Joe#]

Want! I love these cars

No.

 

[leeds_182]

Finished painting the back of the car today. Its not show car standard but certainly an improvement of before.

Ive still got the front to do but the seats etc are gonna have to come out for that.

After;

 

[Philip.]

Looks a load better that!
Good work.

 

[Matthew]

Million times better mate.

 

[chriscummins7]

That thing sounds like it means business... bet It's awesome

Paint makes a huge difference too!!

 

[leeds_182]

Thanks for the comments. It is a hoot to drive but I couldn't handle it as a daily driver, that's for sure!

 

[daveski]

Excellent work on the paint, looks loads better

It doesn't stand up to close inspection but it is certainly an
improvement.

 

[daveski]

Close inspection is for detailing whores. This car is for driving!

My thoughts exactly!

Should have that as a sticker lol

 

[daveski]

Seen some 'driven, not detailed' stickers before but think my time with stickers is over

I've got a 'scrappage scheme survivor' sticker on the pug and that's pushing the boundries of taste and decency.

 

[daveski]

Big fans of those stickers over on Retro Rides. Not entirely sure why tbh

 

[leeds_182]

Chav.....

 

[leeds_182]

Few more pictures from today.

I decided to do the front of the car to try tidy that up a bit. Couldnt be bothered removing the seats so just worked around them.

Here was the front before I started;

After a couple of coats of primer;

And finally a couple of coats of cherry red;

 

[Matthew]

Coming along nicely now mate, any more plans for the car?

Im finding myself looking at Saxo VTS's more and more lol
