Uno My Black MK1 UT thread

Introduction

Some of you might or might not know but i've had a black mk1 UT for just over four years now in a lock-up

I'm finally going to start working on it and it should hopefully be on road sometime during 2008. Its not going to be 100percent original from factory but exactly how i want it to look and go!

IMO its the best one, MK1(obvious lol) black, tipo gearbox, no sunroof and the late spec interior.

the engine has been re-built with hybrid turbo, ported head, lightened and balanced bottom end, piper cam and some other goodies. once its in and running i'm going to run it on aftermarket engine management.

pictures are the first time its seen sunlight in about a year.

I'll update this thread as and when i can :)

like it a lot(y) tons of very nice touches all over, esp under the bonnet, those bumpers really set it off a treat.:slayer:

the only bit i personally would change? those alloys, but then being a wheel whore i would:p
 
i dont like the wheels either, there going to get changed pretty soon, i'm saving up for a set of graphite ultraleggeras

...now, you knew that would bait our resident wheel whore... :eek:

Nice pics (y) - so this long-term project is finished at last? I recall this was a shell for a long time, the perfect black paint waiting patiently.

I might have missed something but what happened between August (your previous post about the driveshaft) and today...? Winter hibernation? Give us a write-up :p

How about the Tipo wheels you showed us before?

What happened to the 1/2 1/2 rear lights? i see you put the standard ones back on....
The rear bumper is a mk2 bumper, am i correct?

i bought all new lights for it indicators, number plate light, front indicators etc and new rears i prefer the standard lights to the half red clears.
