Dunc, with an intercooler that size, are you aware your car may be laggy to the point of being annoying

anyway, with some engine degreaser, and a bit of elbow greace it was looking a bit better! took me ages to get it this clean!
got some red engine paint, gonne paint block ed and leave the head and gearbox silver, what u think? good idea?

charlie, told u it would fit
1.8stilo, didnt do any to the grill, but i will sort it as i aint to o keen myself!
louie, cant shut the bonnet, got no bonnet catch on
biz matey, thought about the plate on the sunstrip, but recon id get pulled before u know it lol. as for the fiat badge in the grill, well i was goin ot leave it, what u think?
pinin, the lag wont be much more than it was before i think. but we'll soon see, but lag doesnt really bother me, as its fun :d and i'll just drop it down if i need to get it to boost up quicker hehe!

How about a bit of Italian for your engine? Red cam covers, white head and red block
As for the inter/bumper/grill. I think the bumper cut off flush with the sides of the inter would look better than flimsy bits going across. Paint the inter the same colour as your car and it won't look so out of place. Mask the inter and spray FIAT across it in silver on blue..

Number plate looks good where you have it planned though.

Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 21/02/06*
I was going to comment that there wouldn't be room enough for that, but the intercooler is mahooosive, you'd probably be able to write war and peace on that backwards and the driver in front still be able to read it!

cheers for all your comments peeps
right, today it may not look like ive done much, but trust me, it was hard work and took bloody ages! i started to clean down the floor of the car!
this is what it looked like after all the sound proofing had been removed which me and my mate did a couple of weeks ago.
after alot of elbow grease and sanding and a little waft over with a rattle can, its looking alot better dont u think?
im still getting the engine bay seam welded, but the rest of the car will have to wait for another time, but its not hard to whip 2 seats and a cage out to seam weld the rest of the car! lol, just really pushing ot get it finished at the mo and get it on the road. will then get other bits and bobs done when i have the cash!
anyway, i started on the spare wheel well too!
looking much better
and a quick snap of the floor as i left it (except i sprayed the spare wheel well in primer but forgot ot take a pic oooops!)
and heres my passenger foot rest, need to drill the holes for it tomoz too
more pics/ updates tomoz
