No updates at the mo as I'm getting married next week, so car spending has been on the back burner for last few months, will be getting back on with it soon though :)
 
Was awesome, went really well.

My only advice is to make sure you make the most of it and just enjoy the day, it goes by in such a blur and seems so fast.
 
ok, so i have some updates at last! couple of pics from my wedding day first:

got some new parts for the turbo conversion too, here is a pile of aeroquip hose/hose ends, the hose is the teflon lined version so no fuel smells in the car!

thanks for looking :)
 
Great job! My on-it's-last-legs 205 GTi just about got my wife and I the 4 miles home from the wedding venue. I think that was the last trip it ever managed! I think the ribbons finished it off....
 
man this turbo conversion has to be the longest on record! the Cornish way directly lol,as iv'e said before your car is one of my favorite pumas,just needs the power to match it's looks :) i have a priority order i follow,car first everything else second lol.
