OK...I have held out as long as I can but changes to work mean the car has got to go. I just don't have the time to spend on it and cant go on forever borrowing cars when I need to trek round the country on business.
Car is basically as shown in this thread...although obviously slightly dirtier then when first put together.
A few little points to note, body work is rust free but paintwork is not fantastic in places.
Passenger electric window has stopped working, Drivers side window is very slow and occasionally needs assistance to close.
I have not got round to fixing/replacing the central locking that was missing when I got the shell.
Small oil leak from distributor
Its fairly noisy..not necessarily from the exhaust as such as I asked solid fabrications to keep it as quiet as possible while still being performance orientated....but more due to the engine mounts don't underestimate the difference the H2B urethane mounts make.
No power steering, great for feel and feedback when driving...not so much fun when parking.
The NS2 tires on the car are great in the dry...not so much in the wet.
It wasnt set up to run from cold, possibly just a problem with the IACV but its not something I was particularly bothered for so Rich at Performance autoworks just mapped it to run from warm. Never really caused me an issue as doesnt take long to warm up anyway.
I don't want to add up how much money went into building this car, to give you an idea the exhaust alone was £1200, I am absolutely sure I could make much more from it by selling in bits but don't have the time or space to do so.
Could do with a quick sale so all offers considered
Located just off Junction 11 on the M25
Thanks
Alex
