The plan is on saturday F2 stu will be fitting the Recaro, then i will drive it to a secret location were it will have a new gear box fitted, then its save some money for a roll cage and some decent harnesses and a passenger seat. I will then use it as a derv burner until it pops or a nice engine comes along.

just need to decide on some graphics for it so it looks the part on track, so if your a mac daddy and fancy knocking something up please feel free

I once scribbled some vinyls for the Arosa, this was one of them (not the one I liked best, I'm keeping that one in case I ever do decide to fit them :p)

(ignore the 'Demon' thing - it was sponsership for a uni society that could have paid to have them fitted)

I can't see that it'll be much cheaper

everything under the bonnet (virtually) gets junked - and extensive chassis mods to get the 1.9 to mount. - rewired to suit the 1.9PD, either way - then the only thing you'd not have to change is the fuel pump arrangement

Its pretty rough but, thought about the journey your car has been on. Back from the brink of dead and camoflaged as something else. I like to call this 'conceptual OctoRosa' !! Its good to see it being revived :D
