Another little update the engine is all together with thanks to Carl. The intercooler piping is finished and i just have to make a bracket for the trigger wheel sensor then the engine can go in the car :)

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Bit of an update on the car as the last update was in 2013. The car hasn't changed much with buying my first house, refurbishing it and then building a garage.
Over the New Year I managed to get the car home so hopefully over the next couple of months I will find some time to to work on fitting the new subframe, finishing the exhaust, tidying up the wiring and sorting the ECU. The aim is to try and get the car running for Easter and have a bit of fun in it over the summer.

Hi Dave

The first engine was just a standard metro 1275 with mega jolt.
The parcel shelf has a bit of fibreglass/carbon over the top.
I haven't had the car weighed yet and yes it is a force subframe.
