project lucky

so as everyone knows lucky is off the road.and so far the engine is out and broken up,gearbox is with me ready to be taken apart and the plans are

block to 1293 fully prepared etc
omega forged 18 cc dished pistons
rods smoothed worked and shot peened and strengthened
crank fully worked
straight cut drop gears
SCCR box
quaife lsd
more BOOST!!
roll cage
mb racing split rims 10x6.5(maybe force racing)
4 pot brake conversion to accompany wheels
new seats
some paintwork (maybe new colour)
maybe aluminium doors and perspex windows
and some small modifications to the body

all mated to what i already have.aiming for some high horsepower this time.higher than before anyway lol.aiming for 190ish

quaife diff has arrived with this rather expensive piece of metal i have got a key chain and some stickers(big OOOOOOO now everyone )

london to brighton will probably be the next spendature with beaulieu being the one after that then its all just machining and putting back together,so hopefully london to brighton next year to be running once all the other things are done as well
il post pictures and progress of build as i go along.but until then you shall have to handle me in klaus.

so when are we going to get on and do it ????
