Decided to swap the minging blue interior for black
Ran it at York Dragway and managed 13.4 1/4 mile at 100mph with 2.0 60ft.
Decided to make it a bit better and try and get in the 12's. Bought another mk1.5 for a few parts and took the smaller 15" wheels and LSD box off it.
(picture after I'd removed the wheels I wanted) Sold the car onto Steve Horrocks then.
Fitted wheels to my car and painted roof black.
Then decided it was time to try and repair the rusty arches.
Never tackled bodywork before so decided to have a crack. 
At this point I bottled it and drove the car over to Buxton to Gary
(mk1 dal) for him to fit the arches and paint.
Corner he made for drivers side.
Had the car back from new arches a week and blew it up.
Out on the tops and the boost hit 1.3 bar (only mapped to 1.1 bar) resulting in high knock readings and coolant boiling over. Obviously the weak rev 2 head gasket. Stripped it down and found a split vacuum to the actuator which will have caused the high boost! Have decided to fit a rev 3 metal head gasket this time and cracked on removing the head.
Also fitted a new water injection pump and now intake temps sit at around 28 degrees on boost which is great.
Had the car running 1.1 bar and went to York first weekend after fixing it.
Managed one run of 13.6 @ 105mph but a poor 60 ft so think there is a definite improvement on my pb of 13.4 @ 100 in there. Sadly the day got called off due to an accident so didn't manage any more runs.Car was used for the 50 mile daily commute for a few weeks although costing me
£15 a day in fuel!!Picked this up for it as intend taking it on track soon and it is a little flimsy being a T bar.
Safety Devices 7 point cage for a bargain price of £250 given the rarity and the £800 new price tag. 
Fitted rear half of cage.
Front needs a fair bit of work and not got round to it yet.
Took it to York drag racing again but it was a damp day, managed a 13.6
@ 105mph with a crap 2.2 60ft time so with more grip I should have beaten my previous best. Kept going a bit sideways off the line and then fishtailing a bit in 2nd gear so had to lift slightly. Managed to come 3rd in my class though and didn't lose a head to head all day. 
Developed a misfire on the last run on high boost but luckily managed to make it home.
Seems to have fixed itself as well.Decided I'm going for more power though so took the tank off to fit a Walbro 255 pump.
Not a nice job on your own. Luckily had Steve here today to help me to refit it.
Also MOT due next week so thought I'd better start patching up the rust holes in the A pillars.
Needs filling and painting yet but weather has been against me today. Cheers for the welding Mr Horrocks and all your help on this car over the last year.
Next step is a bigger turbo and over 300bhp hopefully.
