i agree with the rear lights. the front lights will be staying on mate. i like them. each to there own and all that.

I do not like the headlights or taillights, but I can't argue. Thank you for saving this car. :)

The car was lying in a field crashed since 2007. I've always facied one so this one for 500 quid wasn't too bad :)

Cool project, any updates thus far? How are you going to repair the quarter panels; are they welded to the body like the s2k/miata or are they replaceable w/o cutting them off?

looking good, thats a ton of work....

the rear quarters are welded on, i will weld on tabs and pull the dents out, i will then fill and paint, the side skirts and rear bumper cover some of the dents etc, i need new doors though. its been a while since ive had a play. ill get back out there on sunday to get it started. ill put a video up :) thanks

:)

Why would you start a car on 5 year old fuel? Especially the non knock resistant rotary.

Because I've never had it started before mate and I was losing interest until I heard it run. It has fresh fuel in it but obviously it's mixed with the old stuff

It was all going so well until those pictures of the rear end :(. I thought this style died out years ago..

Love the underhood pics!!

cant find a standard one mate!

thanks buddy :)

while it was running i heard a exhaust leak coming from around the turbos, its hard to pin point the actual location. so tell me is it easier to replace the gasket of go single turbo? haha

i bought some wheel bolts, bumper quick release springs and new bonnet pins :)

nicee addig quick release's to my bumper has been one of my most favorite mods.

stern schmiede r16s?

yes mate, BUT 1 got stolen from my driveway. infact it wasnt even the whole wheel it was just the center! WANKERS. please tell me you have a spare that i could buy :) ha

LOL, I was gonna ask you if you'd sell me your center caps! (lost all four of mine)
Hmm, maybe you could lend me ONE until I found suitable replacements (or maybe you could measure one for me?)
