That poprivet bloke was a bit scary, well, maybe weird rather than scary, but not seen him on here for years. Anyhow, let's hear about this resto then. The opening pic looks very promising.
Adding a turbo has been done, there is a thread here from a few years ago.i'm awaiting some air filter foam sheet to remake the scuttle vent, the clamping pieces have had a day in the deox-c and will go in again for a 2nd dip then be electrox'd and satin blacked....all without the use of pop rivets.
i've got a NOS pasenger wiper arm coming (£15) as the old was a bit k'd, but this won't be a cheque book resto...salvage and remake, reifnish is me.
But the car is a great base to start from, the underside is in fabulous order, just a little rust on the nearside cill to wing joint but the cills, subframes etc are all solid as.
The tailgate has less rust on the top window / rubber than mine orignal had after 3 years....

Given the condition i'd like to bring it up to the same standard as my TD5.
...but maybe with a lotus, 1.8t or VVC engine! (that probalby won't happen).
I do think a refurbed VCU is soon going to be on the way soon though...

VVC has been discussed but I think it was decided torque at lower rpm was more desirable than hp at 7k.
Muddymods is your go to for upgrades.
