Nice purchase! The car has a lot of potential, I like it! It needs a lot of work though in my opinion. No disrespect intended.
-Replace the hacked front bar with a non cut one.
-Original MX Grey bars and moulds would make the bt1 look much more o.g and original.
-Change cooler piping from the hot side to a no holes piping kit, the second cops pull you over and check under the hood and see a whole in the body the car will be defected off the road and need a engineers cert upon fixing to re register.
Also can you put up some pic of the 120lt tank? Love to see it. I didn't even know they came that big, I thought 90lt was the biggest! Through up some pics of the I,d plates
Congrats on the car and good luck It's always refreshing to see another BT1.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
i'd be replacig those seats and losing the yellow interior highlights. maybe powdercoat the bar a less shiny colour aswell!
but otherwise its a great start for a project you have all of the bits by the looks good luck!
thanks for the cooments guys, its good to hear other peoples opinions :P
