So today this has arrived

Gonna let the mrs bomb about in it while the summer sun might shine, then I could prep it for the challenge

there is enough in the budget to slap a blower on, sticky tyres and some suspension... i am seriously thinking about it!

If i get out ttw's calculator I have enough left to replace it with a 1000bhp supra engine lol

if there 15's i still have some very used toyo 888's kicking about for a fiver. not all that road legal but enough for the £999 challenge.

rather then a blower why not have a go with some bike carbs. adds more then enough kick for such a lightwieght car without pants lag and issues you get with boosting a NA engine.

That looks very tidy.

Any major work needed on it to get the MOT or is it ready to roll?

Well....

Funny story, Went straight through its test, its on the road all legal, no fault, moans or whines

In the words of the MOT man "you have yourself a good-un here"

So, think i might just slap it on the bay after a few weekends in the sun, figure its prob worth with 12months MOT and 6 month Tax around £1300???

Figure its too good to abuse

There's plenty about so if you think you can make plenty of cash on it I would, you can always buy another one closer to the 999 if you're not planning on any serious mods.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
