Uno 1990 Mk2 Project

Introduction

As some of you may now know I have a black uno mk2 which was my first car. Was used as a daily driver for around 3 years and now it's been sitting in the garage for close to a year and a half now. The plan is to make it a fast street, track car. The plan is to have an uno turbo look with a 1.6 16v bravo engine which will be left standard at first so all the little problems that crop up after fitting an engine are solved so as to have a good bases to tune the engine on.

This is my uno as it was when i got it

I've allready got an engine, factory ecu, which has been unlocked so can be used without the immobilizer and fuse box from the bravo, walbro fuel pump, turbo side skirts & decals, arches, center console, cluster, front bumper, steering and front anti roll bar. Still trying to source rear lenses, rear bumper, door cards, coil overs and a big brake kit.

This is the actual engine that will be going in:

This is how the car stands at the moment:

Interior almost completely dismantled as well as engine bay. Will now be reinforcing the front of the car, cutting out where the heater should sit so the engine can fit better and have more clearance, spraying the engine bay and then the engine will go in. That's the plan for now. A full respray is in store as well.

Will be posting more pics and updates as the build progresses :)
Got the car properly dismantled, removed front seats. This week it should go in for reinforcing, some rust removal and painting of the engine bay. Then it will be off to fit the engine. Will keep you updated and upload some more pics too

work is moving on, managed to cut off where the heater used to sit and closed it. now removing some rust and getting ready for paint :)

here are some pics of the progress in stages, cutting the panel which hides the heater. Unfortunately this area clogs and stays moist so we found a bit of rust. We cut all the panel out as we were going to close the hole for the heater anyway. also removed some rust on the passenger side and there also was a small dent above the passenger side headlight. removed engine mount and removed a small spot of rust there as well. One small patch of rust, closing the heater holes from where the heater pipes used to go through and ready to prep and paint.
