3 minute(s) of a 266 minute read

hi my plans are for it to be the original colour with a black roof,custom rollcage, custom made aluminium fuel tank with twin exits,motobike silencer,and a tunned 1098 with twin carbs built to produce around 80 bhp and i brought some old type classic bucket seats witch i havent got round to taking a picture of and the wheels arnet the lightest around does this make them magnisum or not , also keeping the four seats and as much as i can i will keep original but it will be stripped out no carpet hedlining and no dash board just the centre binicle and a cheeky rev counter, also making it a cooper s lookalike with the badges, nuberplate housings and sliding windows and external door hinges and the mk1 grill and bonnet but leaving some hints to its mk3 background hopefully this is what it will turn out like ive got a few years so there is no rush its just about the funds now is o because im not having to buy much but when it comes to the paint and engine im guna be skint but it will be done

also forgot to mention that i will be using kad 6 pot brakes on the front, and the rear kad disc conversion on the rear with in turn saves weight and increases the stopping power ,plus looks alot better than the old drum brakes .me and my dad are going to purchase a welder soon as when we go to bingley hall soon, we will source alot of pannels from there, cant wait to start welding the car back together as it is one step closer to being completed.
