Hello peoples its been while since i updated this so i judt thought id give you a heads up whats happening with the SR!!

Some good news some bad!!

Firstly the bad snapped a coil on the o/s/f shock which was little bit of a bummer but luckily i had a solution.

Right time to let the cat out the bag!

For those that havent spotted about 2 months ago now i picked up a very cheap mk1 gt with the thoughts of strippin it for parts to make money back and still have all the parts for a conversion well the majority of the car is gone and the engine is out ready for a rebuild so im now starting to get parts together for the rebuild! Just a standard one for the time being as its still my daily doing 12k+ a year!!
