A little update. Some of you may have seen my car at PVS, ive posted a few pictures below for those that didnt.
Thats kinda how it stands at the moment apart from its back on speedlines now as its my daily and need it more practical
Im still not shure what my plans are, but twin 40 carbs is high on the list as ive been offered some in exchange for doing some paintwork. Oh and my middle silencer sits too low so want to raise that so it doesnt catch on speed bumps so much!

Im hoping to maybe re-weld the brackets abit lower so it brings in up more or invest in a smaller silencer im not shure yet.
Cheers people

as said the other day, plans are Ace well worth looking into if you've been offered a set of carbs.
oh an a quick link to mk4_boy's project for a few ideas on the exhaust center section?

my centre section is a de-catted straight thru... worked wonders for clearance
it's pretty raspy (good and bad tbh)

Havnt updated for a while. Not alot happened tbh
Ive lowered the front abit, as imo, before it was a little too high and didnt look right!
Other than that ive got plans to take it off the road over the winter and do quite abit of work on it. Havnt fully decided what im doing but it will involve taking the engine out and getting the car so im 100% happy with it hopefully lol
Took a few pictures the other day after a good clean.

Thanks for the comments..
That photoshop does look good! Im undecided what to do wheel wise yet. I like Euro Style but i also have a soft spot for fast motorsport/track cars. I want to combine the two so its got a show/euro side but if i ever take it on track it wont look out of place lol. Its a hard thing to do but im determined to try.
Oh and im also thinking about a potential respray in a different colour! I need to sit down and do some serious thinking

OMG i seriously need to get this thread updated!!!
Thanks for the offer Minty_Fresh but the car is in bits and is being broken for parts now. Got loads of bits still for sale, my website shows the bits i still have so take a look - http://public.fotki.com/m4rks/stuff-for-sale-1/stuff-for-sale/
Been sooo busy with work that i hardly come on here any more. Once i get sorted i will get a page up for my Nova track car project that i have now bought
Also need to update my daily Peugeot thread too as ive done a few subtle mods to that but dont plan much else for that.
Make me an offer on any parts for sale, collection is prefered but postage can be arranged at a cost
This is it now sad to see it go but i couldnt justify spending more money and i didnt want to see it being driven by anyone else!
