View Full Version : Shugsta's 1.5 swap
Paul Woods
21-09-2006, 18:50
Anyone got a spare woods they can loan me for a few months? up to my arse in conversion work here,and our very own shugsta's is the next on the 1.5 production line.
So yesterday he dropped off his car and then shot off to do a 7hr round trip to derby and back to pick up this....
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/09/201.jpg
I know what you're thinking....that clip is burnt out! but its not as bad as it looks....the fire was mainly in the boot and only slight burnage occurred in the engine bay,well i say slight,its taken out the Map sensor,alt,full engine harness,injectors,cam belt cover and oil filler cap but apart from those it seems fine.... heres the worst of the engine bay...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/09/202.jpg
So im fitting a new harness and replacing all burnt bits......sadly the Ecu in the boot did not survive......kentucky fried ecu anyone?
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/09/203.jpg
So i set about getting the engine out of the charred clip....

And shortly after the subframe and exhaust were separated from the engine...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/09/205.jpg
So she turns over fine,other than plastics and things you'd expect to burn all seems well......ive got my work cut out with this one! but like a pheonix she will rise from the ashes. :doh:
PMSL quality... how the hell do you set a boot on fire? Did he fit a dodgy flamer kit or something!! Nothing like the smell of burnt plastic eh!
rather you than me fella all the best podge

Charred Mk2? Methinks we've found the TB BBQ!
Paul Woods
22-09-2006, 06:34
indeed jiff! good idea!
ash ive just turned the engine over by hand,thats all i can do at this stage,it should be ok though it hasnt had a real roasting! the timing belt wasnt even charred so its just superficial.
I think its taken the engine harness out due to the electrical fire in the boot,thats set the whole engine harness alight.
this ones gonna be a scorcher!.. hUghs swap eh.. I wondered what was going on with that, good luck mr woods
Does look a bit charred to say the least. In my haste to get home after dropping the clip off at Paul's about 8pm (been towing a trailor for about 12 hours at that poit) I drove home with the replacement harness, ecu and fuel rail etc (all un-burned). They'll be winging their way down to Paul on Monday. The remaining parts needed have been listed and emailed to the guy I got the clip from. He agreed before I took the clip that he'd replace any fire damaged parts so no real drama there. Good thing is it has an LSD and he threw in the 2 turbo rad fans all for the sum of ?500.
It was good to see the hive of swap activity that is Woodsport, lots of nice work going on there and of course I'm 200% confident that Paul will get this purring again and in he back of a MK1 where it should be.
Paul Woods
22-09-2006, 18:18
200% confident.... im 5% sure you are right mate! lol
Other bits and bobs arriving now :);
These have just arrived at WoodSport:
New harness and associated gubbins
XS Power Downpipe
ST185 CV's
Paul gave me a list of parts that were fooked or suspect.
Timing belt cover
Cam belt cover
Map sensor
Injector resistor pack rev2
Coil pack & amplifier
Fuel Pump
Alternator (if test fails).
The fella I bought the clip from, ncrecovery1 on eBay, agreed from the begining to supply any damaged parts and true to his word, he's got the list together and is sending all of the above to Paul in the next couple of days :thumbsup:. Well, nearly all... he's still to get his hands on the covers but they aren't needed for some time anyway.
Now I need to get some more stuff,
Wheels - I've ended up dreaming about these things after spending too long online looking for, dare I say it, the "perfect" set of wheels. It's not happening on my budget (?500 with tyres). Any suggestions for wheels to go with a black mk1.5 fitted with a SamAuto bodykit? They'll need to fit over the ST205 breaks up front. I realy like the deep dish wheels, Borbet A & Borbet T sort of thing. I'm thinking about 205's up front and 225's at the back.
Fuel Cut defencer (or is it defender?) - Do I need one of these? If so, there's one on the car just now from it's SC install. I seem to remember it's for a 3sgte.
Boost Controller - What's a good option here? There must be stuff I've missed :hmm:....
sounds like your getting stuck in shugs :)
looks like it well covered (no not the side of the car) but parts wise, perhaps a boost gauge ?
manual boost control (mbc/grainger valve) is fairly cheap but not really remote control unless you want a brass tap in the cockpit!.. elecy widgets are far more pricey but in my ideals worth it for ease of use and night time eye candy
Hmmm...sure I missed the side of the car (with most of it anyway :doh:) rotflmao
Paul has got me covered for a boost gauge. He's going to fit a pod on the inside left of the dash.
It'll take time but like most good malt whisky..you no the rest. All I can do (wish it was more) is keep Paul supplied wth the bits as he needs them.
Cheers

good stuff shugs,i need more pairs of hands...who wants a job working on mr2s every day? excellent rate of pay ie all the hobnobs you can carry. :)
Shugsta, there should be a spare set of timing belt covers from my old engine that your more than welcome to have. They are at Paul's place already so ask him if he still has them.

Hi Shugsta.
you wont be disappointed mate. My Turbo(that Paul did) is great.
Boost controoler, I'm sure paul has exlainded the lilttle valve that is an option.
He fitted one to mine, but I've been thinking of an electronic one like this of fleabay:

Hey! I've just bought the exact same seats in red and black for the Escort! How much did you get the pair for? I managed to sneak in a late bid of under ?95 for the pair :D
I do like those seat, lets us know how they are when you get them, re- quality fit etc
Nice one John, I chose black and grey but just went for the Buy It Now for ?99 + Delivery. Still a bagain at that:)
Garbe, they're going straight to Pauls so Iwon't see them straight away. As soon as I find out from Paul I'll let you know. Hmm, come to think of it John, you'll probably know what they're like before I do.

They're pretty good actually - the back is a bit stiff, but they have good side support, slide rails, sided reclining mechanisms (so there's a left-hand seat and a right-hand seat). Basically a bargain for under ?100.
It all sounds like good news John:boogie: I can't see your pics though mate, properties are showing your internal IP on the image URL. :hmm:
Mine arrived at Pauls yesterday. He's going to fit the drivers seat fully adjustable and the passenger seat in a fixed position. What option are you going for with the escorts seats?
Good luck to you guys with this one, that's for sure.
I think I have a spare set of plastic cambelt covers you can have (but they will have 3s-ge (not gte) wrote on them. I'll have a dig around for ya soon as I can.

Hmm.. should have been 8 images, 4 via my public address and 4 via private (so i can see what they look like!).. I've taken out the private IP addresses in case they were causing a problem.
I'm re-doing the Escort interior and will be bracing the chassis with some extra tubes running from the tunnel out to the sills. The seats will be mounted on those tubes with a few flat plates, rather than being bolted to the floor as they would normally be.
Have you completely removed the pics now John? Would be nice to see them mate.

Nice solution. I'd imagine that would be a much stronger anchor point.

Thanks Jon, I think this sorted already mate. Murf had a spare set at Pauls (from his broken engine I think) and kindly offered me them.

Not bad for less than ?100!
Thanks for putting those up John. If they are as good as they look then I'm well chuffed I got them :hehe:. My MK1a has the original grey and black seats and I think they go well with the black paintwork. If that's anything to go by then these should suit nicely. :shades:

Yep thats an original Microvitec CUB (dating from when I was at school - at least 20 years ago), converted from TTL video to analogue RGB for my arcade PCB's and NeoGeo console :)
I've got a BBC-B and a Master elsewhere in that room!
do come and sit in the chair lie back and relax and tell all... :)
that screen is prolly older than most folk here.
shugs hows the swap coming on, have anything left to source..?
shugs hows the swap coming on, have anything left to source..?
Just wheels to get now Adam. I'm going to go with 16's but the tricky bit is finding a set I like that will fit with the ST205 front breaks. Azevs or Borbets would be nice. If I don't find a set of 16's there are some nice 17's out there that I know will fit.
Somebody please tell me that these wheels will accomodate ST205 brakes. :pray: :pray: :pray: .
http://www.rarerims.co.uk/alloys.php?product_id=2adef42c25dfdc5daa49e41dc6f9 78f2&startrow=0 The rims are 16 x 8" and ET35. It mensions that you can fit from a 195. Is that not pushing it a bit for 8's? I'd be looking to fit 205 / 225.
They're exactly what I had in my minds eye, Japanese retro, deep dish.:cool:
Does anyone happen to know the following dimensions? (David yours was the best photo I could find) Just thought David, it might be an idea if next time I'm in Motherwell I could stop by with a ruler. Would be nice to see your 1.5 in the flesh.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/10/147.jpg
What I'm thinking is... if I know the widest points/area that the brakes take up, I could write to Rota and ask if the wheels will fit with the brakes. Probably a long shot but I've got to try.
superchargedsam
31-10-2006, 23:24
nice rims for sure shugs but not sure it will work ! the ST205 does sit on 16s as standard but the insside of the nasty 3 spokes it comes with are quite flat but not sure of the ET of them ! Looking at when I had pauls old one for an hour or so those calipers are quite a way out and u would have been hard pushed to get a credit card between spoke and caliper (and it had the celica wording ground down as that would defo have rubbed the spokes big time!) !
Not want to wreck your dreams of those bad arse wheels but could be tight !
I know where you're coming from Sam. I kinda realise it's a long shot, but hey, nothing ventured and all that. As much as I like the wheels, I ain't losing the 205's.
It'll still be really handy If I know the dimmensions for the breaks. There are a few wheel shops I could drop into to measure some 16's.
Any news on this sawp?,its gone very quiet
Stu, things are still moving mate. Shouldn't be too long now before Paul can make a start to the swap. There's been a bit of planning going on in the background for some "other" work that's being done.:whistle: Hopefully it'll all come together soon. I'm not trying to be secretive or anything, just think it's best left to those involved to go public IYSWIM. I'm getting pretty excited about it now though.
Did you find out any more info on what wheels are on Penelope? I've still to get my hands on some 16"ers that'll fit with the ST205's.
Cheers
Shugsta.

Ah but when you're fitting ST205 discs and calipers on a Mk1 is the wheel weight an issue?;)
Know what ya mean fella but any reduction in unsprung wieght is a hoog advantage as not only does it allow the suspension to do its job better but redcues the gyroscopic effect when truning, this only really applies at speed ! major major issue on bikes due to the angles of lean the wheel hits etc but not such a biggy on a car, but lower wheel mass also helps incrase accelration, again only marginally (or fractionally) but all help is good !

i will get a mk1.5 to add to my colection sometime honest
good luck
would love to go in one see how it compares to the sc
Paul Woods
12-02-2007, 18:32
no comparison pete mate,they blow the SC away.
pistol pete
12-02-2007, 18:34
depends on mine though :) a standard sc i expect so it is a different league but then mine is now as well
i got instant pick up no lag with a car the same hp
depending on what has been done to the turbo of course
will be getting mine RR end this month beginning of next
Would think that Petes 252 Bhp SC is more comparible to 1.5 though.
pistol pete
12-02-2007, 18:48
he he
cheers
but i will say 1 thing which i was not happy about and would like to apolagise to paul for
in jap performance mag there was bit about me saying teh the turbo was to heavy rubbish etc..... what a load of crap most of what was said in that artice was said by my engine builder i would love a mk1.5 would love the turbo and am in aw of what paul does
so sorry paul if you read it and was offended but was not by me
i just wanted to do something different like you did when you did the mk1.5 for the first time
still gonna get a 1.5 one day has to be a turbo not v6 i have a v6 although it is a calibra i want a turbo one just preference
pete
Paul Woods
12-02-2007, 18:57
no probs pete,i hadnt read it anyway....but now i know about it, i hate you lol joking mate.
ah i thought you meant SC's in general,your beast is a different kettle of fish entirely! id love to see yours side by side with a 1.5,that'd be cool.
pistol pete
12-02-2007, 19:04
yeah me too... id love to see a mk1.5 full stop only ever saw one once and that was 2 years ago :( :( :( :(
oh sc in gerneral they would walk all over
i took steve kingsnorth out in mine (he has a sc with big pulley) and needless to say when he got out he wanted some of his heart tablets :) adn he was a bit red
made me laugh though seen as though i was being gentle with him as i know what he is like
must get a decent vid of mine when weather is better will get the RR vid up when i get it done
how does the v6 compare to the turbo? is which is quicker i guesss teh v6 just has loads more low down grunt .. is the v6 more suited to the mk2 and turbo to the mk1?? i wanna see some diecent vid of a mk1.5
Paul Woods
12-02-2007, 19:11
mk1 v6 v mk1 turbo is tricky,mk1 turbo is a raw animal that explodes forward when the boost comes in,v6 is much more refined and yes probably better suited to the mk2 but its still a lovely engine for the mk1...i wouldnt like to put money on which would be quicker.
pistol pete
12-02-2007, 19:19
hhmmm i like the raw animal thing like mine if i want refinded i would not be putting a different engine in a mk1 i would just get a bm i love raw animal instincts of a mk1 so turbo it will defo be,
that is one thing i miss in mine is the turbo spooling up and because its a sc and is instant i can "feel" slower due to not having the turbo spool" i.e. my mate has a 450hp scort cossie mine keeps with but when his turbo comes in even thought its a bigger car feeels a lot more savage than mine because teh sc is already going if, that makes sense
some poeple say it has taken on the characteristics of a bigger car in that you are going a lot faster than it seems which is unusual for a mk1 - but then i am used ot it
p.s. you are more than welcome for a little drive at jae in mine paul to see what you think
Paul Woods
12-02-2007, 19:22
id like that mate! you will get a few offers of a 1.5 ride out as well no doubt.
pistol pete
12-02-2007, 19:31
fingers crossed
I'll be at JAE Pete so your more than welcome to have a go in mine. This car used to have an AE92 GZE that dyno'd at 197bhp. It'd be cool to go out in yours to feel what the 60 or so more ponies you've squeesed out of her is like.

i am sure i will use more fuel up there than getting there but all part of the fun better start saving for fuel 115 miles to a tank maybee a little bit more for motorway driving
200 miles from my house
3/4 tanks there and back + 1 tank for there 4/5 tanks of fuel for one weekend -- trees hug my car as it goes past :hidesbehi
the difference between a normal sc with big pulley etc is amazing (blokes facce in his m3 when a e reg standard looking mr2 overtook him after he laughed at my exhaust at the roundabout and cut me up- priceless) i still need to get the smaller levin pulley for the supercharger (if anyone has one spare) for that bit more boost then get it mapped in more power,,,, much harder getting more power out teh sc tha the turbo i have found hence why i will get a mk1.5 then tune it ... lots

today saw the engine and box jet washed and started to rebuild.... first was the plenum,it was treated to some matt silver....

and then the cam cover painted gloss black...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/76.jpg
Ive fitted a replacement fuel rail and injectors as the old ones were burnt! as was the engine harness which has also been replaced....actually its rev2 stuff going back onto a rev1 engine,a few things are different,so far the knock sensor has needed a new plug on it.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/77.jpg
Also i managed to fit the new throttle body/dizzy and leads....

damn that engine is looking good now
Just figured out where Winchburgh is, didnt realise you were in Scotland Shugsta!
Is that 3 1.5's that are in Scotland now?
There's you, Dave Sleith fae Motherwell and me soon. Rob Sadler had one (Edinburgh) but that's gone south now I think. Ollie will soon have the Mk1V6 on the go too. Haven't heard from John (Edinburgh) for a while so dunno what's happening there. Aye, I reckon that's it mate.
Murf's got Rob Sadler's, no?
Will be great to get a TB meet going when they're all done. Just in timne for the good weather.
D'oh! ...of course, Robs went West, not South. So Murf's is the only 1.5 on the road up here at the mo. Nothing stopping us all meeting before the cars are ready. Would give us an opportunity to assess drinking habits before JAE.

today saw the gearbox all jollied up and ive fitted a new timing belt and clutch....so this is just about ready to go in.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/92.jpg
Attention then turned to the car,shes in a little bit of a state but im going to sort it all out...first thing was to get her on her skates...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/93.jpg
These let me push it around the workshop and i can crawl under the back.
I also managed to drop the tank today and fitted a walbro pump,no pics of that as i was up to my eyes in clarts and didnt want to muck the camera up.
Next job was to gut the bay and boot,the engine was already out on this one but there was a right rats nest of wiring and pipes to get rid of...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/94.jpg
Now i know it doesnt look too pretty at present but it will....
Next was grinding the mounts off,well air chisel,same thing but with no sparks in your ears! oh dear ive found a big rotten patch,so i chopped it out,this will get plated over before the mounts go in....
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/95.jpg
And the mount chiselled off the drivers side...no rot this side
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/96.jpg
Final job today was cutting the rear wall out,also my weapon of choice...every home should have one.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/97.jpg
Hopefully tomorrow the jig goes in and i will get some fresh mounts welded in.

so maybee have a look i know its been under shelter so fingers crossed it will be okayish
then when i get one to my house and after about a year of collectiong parts if not more(gotta pay for babs) 1.5 :driving:
just as a project as will never love it like my sc

shugs someones grafitti'd over the back window :icon_eek:Whatever do you mean Ad? I've had some fantastic track days managed by them ;)
Long story cut short.... Just in from a client night where a friend Jock introduced me to his colleague Ricky who was about to squander a small fortune on dropping a Beams into the back of his MK2 NA. Promptly a PDA showing a certain Mk2 V6 conversion package was flung in his direction. Then it dawned on me that there might be an update on my swap. The bastard wouldn't give me my PDA back and saw today's progress before me. Needless to say, Ricky is now a TB convert and he'll be giviin' you call in due course Dr. Woods. [DELAYED REACTION] :jump: :jump: :jump:Great progress Paul, will PM you back in the morning about the cable mate. :thumbsup:

Used to live in Lanark and my first MK1 used to get a roasting on route to Hamilton along that road. There is not many overtaking spots and if you get stuck behind an old boy taking his missus out to pick strawberries at the garden centres you need to get the hamlet out!!! No fear of that this time of year right enough. Probably get stuck behind a gritter!
Just like an old girldfriend though, its been a while since I have been up it.
Paul Woods
16-02-2007, 17:26
Ok first job of the day was to get some metal back into that passenger inner wing,it was very weak so a nice big strong patch was called for....all seam welded.
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/99.jpg
This is in a crucial area as we need good support for the new mount.
Next the WS jig was bolted in place,as you can see its a simplified affair compared to the TB jig but it does the same job....then the mount plates were welded in....
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/100.jpg
Finally with all top plates added i seam sealed the whole lot up,this is applied liberally just like toyota do and will look good when the whole bay is painted...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/101.jpg
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/102.jpg
So monday should see the boot wall completed and the whole bay painted in a fresh coat of black,might even get the engine in too!
shugs .. you got suspension and brakes sorted for this / standard sus?..
good progress mate, im anxious to see this all this fitted up and the sound..oh :drool:
Sterling job Paul, coming along great sir.:mrgreen:
shugs .. you got suspension and brakes sorted for this / standard sus?..
It's got KYBs and poly bushes done Ad, it'll get the Tubby arb fitted too. Currently stock rear brakes and of course the front ST205s you machined for me.
There is a fair bit of bodywork being done after the conversion but I don't know how long it'll be for some of the parts to arrive that are needed. Because of that Paul advised that the breaks will be done once the bodywork is finished to avoid them seizing/rusting up while sitting.
im anxious to see all this fitted up and the sound..oh :drool:
Hehe me too mate. A dream coming true indeed. Aye, the sound, FECKIN' LOUD springs to mind. :D
FECKIN' LOUD springs too mind. :D

I'll be at JAE Pete so your more than welcome to have a go in mine. This car used to have an AE92 GZE that dyno'd at 197bhp. It'd be cool to go out in yours to feel what the 60 or so more ponies you've squeesed out of her is like.
I remember that ;) It was mental !!!

Hey jimi, long time no see mate:wave: . That was an fun meet, really enjoyed that day.
Have you come up with any new mods for the MK1? I might have to invest in your electric engine lid release. Did you ever work out if the rs gas struts would lift the lid by themselves on release? Good to see you back on TB, stop by more often :thumbsup:
That meet was nearly 3 years ago 8O it was a good laugh though. I've put the gas ram project on the back burner for now, But I'll get back to it ;) Loads of little MK1 mods done since then, have a look on my website, most of them are there.
I'm on here pretty regular, always looking for idea's ( and drooling over the V6's ) just don't post much. Saw Paul's picture and thought I recognised the car.
:eek2: August 2004...Shit! where does the time go? Your site is now bookmarked Jim so will be having a good read through the mods and other stuff.
Go on mate, go for it and get a V6 in there.:poke2: :)

and the rest of the day was spent making rear torque mount,still a bit of tidying to do but its functional....

Tomorrow sees the front torque mount done and a start made on the plumbing.
msherry21
21-02-2007, 18:55
Thats coming on nicely, Paul would you recommend getting new engine mount bushes for the swaps? or are most of the orginal bushes up to the job?
Paul Woods
21-02-2007, 19:16
the original turbo ones are fine but in some cases id use polyurethane on the torque mounts if they looked weak.Ive got no torque mounts for your swap as yet so poly is probably the best route for your car,it does tend to cause a fraction more vibration at idle (mirror shake) but taking a drill to the poly mounts lessens the harshness.
Shit!... that bling work of art really shows up the rust doesn't it. Fantabulous fabrication mate. :thumbsup:.
lookings like they've changed the make up of the xs pipes :blabla:
Still can't see properly after being dazzled by the torque mount:cool: so can't see the downpipe very well Ad. What's different with it's make up?
Paul Woods
22-02-2007, 18:00
yeah whats different ad? looks the same to me?
today i finished off the rear torque mount and also built the front one,couldnt get near it on the car to take a pic,soz!
I also fitted the heatshields around the exhaust manifold and the turbo outlet pipe...
http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/02/142.jpg
Also the engine lifting bracket got cut and ive also fitted a mk1 oil pressure sender,it was a day of a hundred little jobs all far too boring to mention,but its getting there.
Sure is getting there :).
:popcorn:
shes lookin superb so far mate. ah, im not about to start prostituting pics of parts on shugs thread ! so heres a clicky linky no major difference in pipe make up, probably a different man doing job as you notice difference in style of the tig welds thats all

Then i went to start the beast but was confronted by the immobiliser from hell....this thing was all homebuilt but ive never seen so many miles of 2 core cable on a car! it was everywhere! it was cutting power to everything and there was no way i could get it to graft so off it came.
Ive got to fit a factory ignition switch tomorrow and then she fires up....for now though the conversion is finished,just got to add a water injection kit at a later date...heres the money shot....

Top stuff Paul; Shugs I'm expecting lots of Pics in your gallery.
Absolutely.... but will have to wait until completion of phase 2 though. There's a whole lot of bodywork getting done that includes the fitting of Sam's StyleAuto kit so won't have any photo opportunities until that's done.

EDIT - think you could make it to this on saturday? (10th march) http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/ForumsPro/viewtopic/t=57079/finish=15/start=0.html
Unfortunately she'll no be home for a wee while yet mate. Phase 2 has still to be carried out where the bodywork will be restored and first StyleAuto kit produced by Sam will be fitted. I'll keep you posted, as soon as she's home you're more than welcome to have a burl in her.:driving:
Am planning to go along to the open day as Graydon is a mate of mine. Possibly have some things to attend to that day but will make every effort to get there for at least and hour or two.

Never seen anything like that,big heavy relays,control boxes and lots of shit i just dont understand....over 20m of 3 core flex running throughout the car...nightmare!
This engine sounds super sexy on that exhaust,i'll work on getting a vid shortly.
Just spotted this.
Congratulations, another MK1.5 lives!
Cheers fellas :beer: I'm well chuffed. Things are moving on phase 2 as we speak so with all that's to be done it'll take a bit time to complete.. It's in good hands so no worries. More than a bit excited about the day she comes back home though:driving: Apparently she sounds good too but I couldn't tell you much about that....eh Paul?:poke2: :)

i know i know,i'll get a camera with sound sorted soon. its just not good enough! :)
Looks great guys, bet Shug cant wait for a go of it!
Love the immobiliser too, think how quick the car will be with all that weight removed from it, should be enough scrap copper there to offset the cost of the conversion!! :)
F'kin awesome colours there dude!
