Car looks great i am really please for you, you are always helpful on this forum. One more little touch though is to hide the rusty wheel bolts so get a set of the chrome finish bolt covers from ebay for about a £10(better than they sound i promise. Some in this picture Wheel bolt covers Tom

Joe's enthusiastic ability to swing from exhausts, and inexhaustible cheerfulness when things fell off. That says it all Well done guys for such a transformation from a more sorry-looking 19-yr old I saw in February.

You won't get shot; I know.
Looks like a job for when the paint has fully hardened, but the bumper should square up nicely. Just needs the holes elongating on the mounting points. It really does look smart. Just need the right wheels back on.

Polite discussion with an angle grinder and hammer per chance?
A few more photos and you'll have a Haynes manual.
p.s. I have a copy of your book. Not a Bangle signed on like yours though.

Hello,
Nice to see that someone else put much effort in "only 16V NA" for many people it woult be waste of money/time to spent such amount of effort on stock 16V...
I´ve read that your intention is to use 16VT final drive.. I think that it won´t fit to 16V NA gearbox..
only option is something longer from punto GT (someting around 3,3:1, I dont´know exactly) or tipo 2GT or sedici where is 3,545:1.... coupe has 3,733:1 16V turbo is different family of gearboxes...
to improve reliability and prevent oil pressure problems is good to remove balance shaft and use balance shaft eliminating kit from eg. deltaparts (I made my own..).
If its late to remove balance shafts, then simply don´t use balance shaft belt.. you will improve reliability of timing belt but problems with oil pressure can remain (middle bearing of balance shafts are in 90% of cases wery badly worn and most of oil pressure is lost here and in oil sprays..)

Then, If you want to improve mpg, or reduce rpm on long jurneys, you can simly use wheels with bigger circumference.
As I have shorter final drive (4,07:1) -which is about 9% shorter in comparison to standart, but I´m using stock 20VT wheels and tyre size for normal driving. For track I change the wheels for 200/580/15 which correspond to 195/50/15... there is about 6% difference in total revolutions per mile and larger wheels partly compensate for shorter final drive..
