I know, it's been very neglected with details to be fair and pictures.
I just don't have the time for a decent write up just now. Hopefully in a week or two I'll be able to get on this once work settles down a bit. That's really why most of it is documented in Instagram instead because it takes 2 seconds to upload.
Got quite a bit to write about on the MR2 and the R32 GTR is finished for this summer. So I'll get on about that later too

Not had a chance to update at all for the build this year really.
I have got plenty of photos and lots of info from what happened along the way. I am planning to sit tonight and do a bit on here but for now...
This was the outcome of TOTB this year. Full write up on that weekend will be included tonight.

My free time for scanning the Internet has been minimal lately hence ive not had the chance to spend 30mins or so to do a write up on the last few months.
Most of my Free time has been spent helping my old man with the Capri rebuild.
The MR2 is currently tucked up at YVS Performance where it has been since TOTB. I haven't had the chance to even bring it home ive been that busy.
The plan is to get the car home before xmas along with the spare shell I have so I can start work on that. (Finally lol)
2016's plans had been mainly to sort any niggles with the car and get some seat time in it as ive honestly driven it twice the whole year and on one of those occasions it wasn't even on a public road. In the mean time I had planned to focus on the bare shell and get that emptied, lightened, widened and painted ready for a complete drop in of my engine and running gear. I want to built the shell into a complete car exactly how I want it with nothing that I don't need in it. The aim is to have this done around winter time 2016 ready for 2017.
However, last week I received a random offer for the car which I had been considering quite a bit...
Best to finish what we have already started though Eh

Cheers mate,
Nah I know... I think I'll take this one to the grave... Or it's Grave. Whichever comes first. I had been tempted to change to something like "J-1" had been recently but in the end we are both (J-1 and I) sticking it out for now

Ive sold my Regamasters so im going to get another set of these wheels to put on the front for now. They are made to order Jim and good quality. If you are looking for anything from them ask to speak to Warren. He's a top bloke.

Right, I've just read this from the start. Safe to say I'm now tuned in
I follow you on IG (@dough.nut) - never made the connection though on IMOC!
Mad car, love it. I may have missed a vital detail and I'm sorry if I have - but is this still a Rev 3 3SGTE lump?! Crazy!
