My Mexico replica.

[Gareth_C_79]

So I'll put up what I know about this then what I am thinking of doing and if you guys can help in any way with suggestions then I'd be grateful.

Body.

Its a 1974 1100 wing the bubble arches added and painted orange with the black Mexico stripes.

Engine.

2.0 pinto from a capri. I dont know if its a 205 or not. Got a K+N filter on the carbs, Ashley manifold which is heat wrapped and a full ashley system. This is mated to a type 9 'box and cooling is provided by an alloy radiator. Got an alloy fuel tank in the boot and anchors are provided by a wilwood disc conversion all round. Fronts are drilled and grooved. 

Interior.

Pretty basic with only 2 corbeau buckets and like harnesses. Real is sectioned off with metal so no seats and no sound proofing! Git a flocked dash with a bit of an array of different switches and I think the light switch needs reconditioned as its not working properly. Sometime 1 light comes on, sometimes both, sometimes none. Need this check. No ignition as the engine is on an immobiliser so I've got a push button start mounted above the rear view mirror.

I plan to get the electrics sorted first followed by a LSD in the rear axle. This will then get pushed along by a ST 170 engine conversion. This is where I'd like most advice on best bits to use, and do's or don'ts and best companies to use.

 

Thanks for looking.
