    My new car

    Since my punto got smashed up at the side of the road, my hearts not really in it. So I did the sane thing and went and bought my dream motor, R5 GT Turbo . It needs some work but I can't insure it for atleast q month so gives me time to try and sort it out. I THINK all it needs is a new carb (ktec) decent idle control valve and a tighter spring on the choke.
    When its sorted it should be running a safe 125bhp on just 10 Psi ! I can't wait lol! Ill get some pics up soon.

    Few pics of my beloved 85 first its being stripped probably so if anyone wants the wheels/seats/brace/filter etc let me know (i will start a proper breaking thread with pics) .





    Doesnt seem like a write off i know, but had a few quotes and if you look closely the whole rear quarter has actually bent so you cant pop it out, it would need cutting out and re-doing
    Anyway on to bigger better things.. ill get some proper pictures when i get it out later..





    What do you guys think?

    Looks good. However a couple of things i noticed were wrong in the first post and they were

    carb

    and

    choke...

    Oh dear, talk about taking multiple paces backwards

    No but really, it looks cool, just sort that red brace out lol!
