Probably about £2700.

But I would rather have it painted, even though it is more hassle for me.

I do want to make it into a very nice car, I have more or less stripped it right down and built it right back up.

I should have had a build up thread, but I wasn't planning on keeping it very long.

This is how it looked when I first got it, it looks a lot different now.

It is not pretty atm, it has a silver bonnet and a blue tailgate.

It will have a stock airbox filter K&N panel filter.

It has a Jetex exhaust system, which is REALLY quiet.

It is running a P30 ECU as it has been converted to OBD1.

The rad has about 50% of fins missing but it does not leak, I have a Tegiwa dual core rad I could fit for a bit extra.

It hasn't really been driven since the swap, just started up and driven up and down our shared drive to check for faults.

The brakes may need bleeding as the feel a bit soft.

It is currently sat on some GAB suspension but the fronts are valved wrong for a hatch as they came off a sedan so are VERY stiff, I was hoping to swap them out for some stock shocks and use the springs from them. It is sat about -40mm lower atm.

More info is on the first post in this thread.

Il try getting some pics of how it looks as is.

Well I bought it from him and he keeps saying it worked out out for free to me.

Should've sold me the cage and wheels and I wouldn't have bought it. :lol:

So today I took the rocker cover off and good job I did as the timing belt has a few splits in it and is loose as fcuk :shock:

So I think she will be getting a new timing belt, tensioner and water pump too. Might as well do the lot.
