finally back online!!!! and jeez, i would have taken most of that of your hands craig!!!! it would have been good to have had them!!!! ahhh well!!!!

that is sweet!!!! how do you fancy selling another engine to me...... lol!!!!

just wish i could have come down too!! and sounds like he had trouble with your driveway!!!! how the hell did you manage it in the 1.0 ep70???? i have changed over the coil, carb, ignition leads and points and it runs like a shiney new pin!!! the carb set up is much better than the old one but still not perfect and we are gonna drop the idle speed back to a normal level this afternoon!!!! and the spare engine if gonna get a slow overhaul including new bottom end bearings and pistons valves and all that lark!!!! did dad ask you if there were any other parts that you didnt want any more that i

dont apologise guys!! im losing love for the wheels very rapid!! i need something more retro just spending all my money on tech (phones, tablets pc's!!) and an engine and 2 wings and maybe 2 rear quater panels and maybe a front valance!!! ouch!!!! all this while taking out a new gf is a mean feat on my wage!!!!

giving me jip to the maximum!!! 13mpg and not enough power for hills, plus the constant worry of the battery being charged cause the alternator is on the fritz!!!!! luckily your engine will mean a new coil carb and alternator to get it sweet again and it gives me a second engine to get looking hot!! and for the clubs info i have been looking into removing the tints and every sticker on it..... i have looked at coilovers, jdm rims and the possibility of a clear bonnet when my engine bay is 100% perfect!!!!!

god yeah!!!! but i wont go turbo, when i go for a big conversion it will be 4age!!!

excellent work mate!!!! jealous i want a home built 4efte or 4age!!! and as of the 28th i will be the owner of a 1e engine!!!!! i am gonna take the carb, coil and alternator off it to get mine running well enough for now...... after that i am gonna rebuild the new 1e engine right down to the bottom end and get it looking factory fresh over the next 2 years..... during the next 12 months i am gonna be drastically overhauling the exterior of the car maybe taking it straight back to standard so its just minty fresh!!!! hopefully the rebuilt engine and body will make for a perfectly clean car!!!

mint work mate!!!

that gt looks great to me mate!!! take the badge out of the grille, remove the sticker from the screen and the magictree and your on a winner!!!! great car!!!

your a lucky bloke, youve had it all of a couple of weeks and your converting allready!! how old are you with what ncb and what company are you going through to get that insurance quote???? great job, loving it, will have to compare 70's at the next show we both go!!

either 650kg or 750kg, those are the weights on my plate under the hood!!! i rekon its 650 actually cause i can lift it to the top of the suspension with a little assistance from mates!!! i have spoken to an owner who lost his jack and when e got a puncture he called 4 of his mates round to lift that corner of the car off the ground and did it!!!

thanks for the comments guys, and welcome to the small 70 clan!!! i am not the biggest fan of the wheels, but they look 100% better in the flesh, have given it a lovely wide track from the front and back, and the handling is about 450% better!!!!! just a nice stop gap until i get some proper jdm wheels!!!!

excellent work mate!!! nice to see another 70!!!! leave it beige and on them steelies (maybe banded) it will look like a proper gash grannies car but with a gt engine in will be rapid as fook!!!

thanks for the help guys, i thought it may be too deep and i really dont want spacers on my bonnet but i may just take a punt!!! and hill bill pm will be sent most haste!!!

i took my bonnet off lay it on a curtain and jet washed it!!! then soapy time then jet washed it and waxed it!!!! its filthy again now!!!

yeah i will do!!! and im thinking of going 1.6 4age 20v when i do eventually convert!!!! and as regards to parts im at a loss, parts defeat me!!!!

excellent job mate!!!! need to start thinking about converting mine!!!!! great job!!!! more pics required!!!

if we had a karma points system on this site, you my good sir would be our top rated man! i salute you!

hi! can one of the photoshop wizards do me a job!! i need my mums punto edited. the standard wheels in black and the windows tinting black!!!! also another one with that and some italien flag stripes!! stripes thanks guys

hi guys gotta fit my new exhaust asap!! apparently there is a self service garage with ramps in the stoke on trent area! does anyone know if there is one and where it is? the nearest one i can find is in bromsgrove!!! it will save me and dad crawling around on the driveway!! thanks

awesome group buy!!!! well with those pennies!!! quick delivery and a top quality product!!!

yep it is the carb 2E, it is daily use, and atm dad is using it, it goes to alton towers everyday and he is racking up about a thousand miles a month but he will be done with it in 2 weeks so will have 46000 on it!!! the roads around alton are windy and very steep so he does have to rag it about abit, and once i pass my test it will be facing some track use!!!! hope this helps fellas!!!

i have found some fully synthetic 5w40, TOTAL QUARTZ 9000!!! will it suit my car? im not sure cause its 5w40 not 10w40! sorry if its a stupid question but i just want an opinion is it better or is it a bad idea as its not the right viscosity for the engine????Product Information * QUARTZ 9000 5W-40 Synthetic technology multigrade oil for Petrol and Diesel engines * TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W-40 has been developed to cover the most stringent requirements of both recent petrol and diesel engines (since MY 2000). * TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W-40 is particularly suited to turbocharged, multi-valve an
