Other: A lot of time was spent getting all of the rust out of the body. new plates were welded in and then the whole car was literally drenched in fish oil. all mechanical work was done by myself and any machining by 'Accurate Engine Rebuilders' where they did an awsome job.

Future Plans:
- Get it painted.

- Descent tyres.
- 14psi.
- Stand alone ECU
- 14psi+++
