ABout 3.5 mates rates, thats with cutting the rust out of the front and back, replacing the panel if necessary, (the back had to be replaced, front was fibreglassed up 2 tiny holes) also rolled the guards and changed those silly black plastic peices around the window to a proper seal yet to have the window in yet

Cheers guys.. Only thing is.. last night I was letting it run for a bit, gave it a couple of revs (not redline, just a little poke) and then noticed white smoke out the exhaust. When I moved the car back into the shed, theres a patch of oil under where the turbo is.. Hopefully its not the turbo.. cause I was planning on getting a cd player before anything else. Oh well, guess its a t3/t4 with a roller bearing conversion now... 'bummer' Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
