antz Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 full bodywork resto, full new suspension setup, then when money allows ill be getting the interior retrimmed in the original beige
RFChris Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 Car? Pah....not a hope. All baby in this house. Much as it should be in the Phillips household, eh?
RETRO_AL Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 get my engine and box in, then wire it up
aphspeed Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Posted December 20, 2006 full bodywork resto, full new suspension setup, then when money allows ill be getting the interior retrimmed in the original beige You won't have much time to open your prezzies then!
Admin Vista Posted December 20, 2006 Admin Report Posted December 20, 2006 Oh yeah though I won't be doing much of it myself till after the new year. My 205 block bottom end has just gone off to JRE for some 2.2 magic with all the trimmings. I did consider one of Coltec Racings all steel 2.4's but don't think it's really worth the expense for what I'll use it for.
RedditchJay Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 just standard service, refurb front brakes, new pads / discs etc etc was going to fit a bolt in cage but couldn't bring myself to drill the floor.... so it will be for sale after xmas {cage.... not the car} Jay
