The mirrors look good but are not very useful !! as for the Turbo engine, its in but just some final bits of plumbing and wireing to finish, I also had to convert to disc breaks on the front as didnt think the drums would be a good idea with the added BHP . The good news is as there is so much room in the engine bay I have been able to put a massive intercoorler in ! |

Got the turbo unit installed, just the final plumbing to do and find a spot for the intake.

Its alloy and doesnt bend or dent easy so ideal for kit cars. We used a mix of 3mm and 1.5 , the 1.5 is much lighter than steel. Its very expensive to buy however I managed to get a deal with a local steel workshop |
