She's a bit sharper now. Still lots to do!!

Great work, the wheels are pretty decent but personally the colour would be better a dark orange :) otherwise way to much monotone colour going on. Thanks everyone. Yes once im mechanically happy with the car, ill give it a quick spray. White probably. The wheels were blasted a long time ago and pu...

The engines in and all the mechanical work done. Ive my loom sent away to be altered so thats all im waiting on. Got my manifold flipped and an exhaust made up. Engines all plumbed in and a throttle cable bodged together and a fuel pump wired up. Should be ready to go when my loom gets back, no rush...

3 engines. My f7r, a donor 1.7 i stole parts off (Alt, sump, bell housing etc) and my good 1.7 i took out. Keeping it complete just in case lol. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/644389_978466365500112_1489657649964516179_n.jpg?oh=97c95d263ea42d5c7292fdc818aee35a&oe=54F...

Hey, its just bolted to the sub frame and the front valance but its took a few hard knocks and seems to have held well. I'm waiting for it to pull my valance off some day haha

Great to see an old friend again, looks well good on the minilites, & I always wanted some for it. I probably wont win any prizes for my 1st attempt at re-spraying, but I did learn something. I don't regret anything I've done in this car, it promised to be a fun car, and in fairness it did deliver ...

Thanks for the info! Cheers.

Common way of making a F7R so its a 2ltr bottom end the 1.8 16valve head. That will all bolt up to a 1.7 sump and bellhousing. Is the manifold flipped or was it run with no heater box? What are the benefits of the 1.8 head? Tell me a bit more about the flipped manifold? I dont think this engine has...

Will you have some spare 5 door glass by any chance?

Hey, yep sure do. Drop me a text, 07778545826.

I was offered this but im not sure what it is?

What questions do i need to be asking? It would be for a 340 which is a 1.7.

Through MOT and then a cheap set of ally cats bought. Land rover shocks were in by this stage. https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/10500390_923028407710575_9086933921611422175_n.jpg?oh=9466ff533ff96e0df8629a7395241d38&oe=54990BD7 http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy18...
