Had my T reg for a couple of years now and thoroughly enjoy owning / driving it. As such I'm going to turn it into a bit of a project motor.
The idea of a turbo conversion has been tempting me for a while now so most likely the way I will go with regards to the engine.
I also want to get the body back to mint condition and toying with the idea of the wide arch body kit as seen on the Puma Speed website. If anyone has any experience of if they look as good in the flesh as they do in the ad's i'd be grateful to know your thoughts.
I've just changed the rear bushes and fitted AP coilovers all round this afternoon. The ride and handling difference is amazing! Old bushes were completely knackered and very noisy but new powerflexes in place so all is tight and silent now.
I'll upload some pictures of the changeover in progress and the general condition of it if people are interested. I'll also add a bit more of a detailed plan / wish list of what i want to do. I am still in two minds as to what i'd like to do so have been looking at everyone else's on here for inspiration. A hell of a lot of amazing looking cars!
If I managed to do it right, below should be a pic of my mates dad this afternoon as we were just about to start the bushes and suspension change.........If not i'll re-read the muppets guide of how to a bit more carefully :roll:
