I've just realised that I've never started a build thread on here so thought I should. It's not as if a lot has happened yet but anywho...
I originally sold my rev3 turbo with the intention of buying/building a mk1.5 and after shopping around for a while I took this as part-ex for the turbo:

And with the left overs I bought this Rev1 Turbo:

That's basically where things stayed, the mk2 was still taxed and MOTd so I lent it to my old man for a couple of months until he finds a new one for himself. so I've basically just been having fun and enjoying the NA

Until BSM had to get rid of his mk1.5 converted shell, so Tiny convinced me that he can collect it in the back of a LWB luton that he had hired:

So the gold one is staying in one piece for now and the red one is taking the Rev1 engine. The Turbo is now back on my driveway and I'm ready to start the swap.... Time to start making a shopping list.
The idea now is to get the swap completed by end of march, get on track with both cars and decide if a 1.5 is what I really want. If it is I'll either sell the gold one and do the bodywork on the redone or more likely convert the Gold one to a 1.5 too
