Location: 13.9 @ 98mph 160vvc NA power 		Thanks for the comments will have some more pics soon other plans are to polybush the car and have body work done, all new back brakes and hand brake cable just realy putting all new bits on the car. The engine is not running yet will be soon just been putting anything nice and tidy on it. Dont no yet if the loom that iv got will work as it was converted for a metro gti not a r100 think i might have a charging problem with the alternator but yet to find out. Before i use the tro im going to get it on the rolling road so it is all set up nice im looking for about 140bhp out of the engine which will do me for now. cheers tom

Nice work mate.
But as I tell everyone who puts a 1.8 in a standard car... its not wise. Many folk on here will back me up on this.
Far better to have your car handling like a demon FIRST, rather than pulling like a demon and being quite unsteady with ya foot down.
Just take care.
