rickjma Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hello all. I've returned with a new project. Her name is Rita. This is her the day she arrivedhttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31109.jpg Then I made a few little changes... Twin exit xosthttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31110.jpg Angel eyes and colour coded debadged ghia grill with black meshhttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31111.jpg RS7's and 30mm drophttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31112.jpg 300 front brakeshttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31113.jpg Then the tax ran out so I decided to SORN her, fitted my half finished mods and rolled her into the garage to start the epic build http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31114.jpg Plans are these: 1. RWD conversion2. 2.0 Zetec turbo There are of course more plans but for now these are the important ones. So I started to remove the floor and strip to a bare shell. This is her current state.http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31115.jpghttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31116.jpghttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31117.jpghttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31118.jpg I also bought this XR4x4 as a donor for the RWD conversion.http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31119.jpg It will arrive on June 3rd and the fun can begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31110.jpg thats a bit of a stretch to try and say their exhausts? Twin hedgehog howitzers maybe. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31120.jpg your neighbours must feckin hate you when you start that motor in the mornin.

scottybo Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 hmmm not sure if i like twin zorst. bet it sounds good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickjma Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yes the exhaust was loud, it annoyed the neighbours, my mrs knew I was home roughly half a mile before I got there lol but it did sound awesome!! Alas it has now been sold along with most of the rest of the car. Concentrating on the shell, RWD setup and engine. Haven't got space to store it for months (maybe years haha) so it's either sold or thrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee grout Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Cossy splitter and sticks mate Diddnt look like that at 1st lol VERY subtle version! Maybe its cos of the white of the bumper but it all looks very subtle, doesnt stand out like a sore c0ck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
