Thanks for all the positive (and amusing!) comments guys smile I certainly have an eye for detail (hence why JBT did the last cambelt & clutch on my Plus) which means slow-progress at times but I'll get there. As the current Mrs_jas_racing would testify I'm worth the wait wink

I don't think I posted these photos on the project thread but this is where the restored 'shell spent 10 years of its life up until I bought it last year:

I haven't seen an Uno for years!
Used to work with a guy that had a minty mint white turbo many years ago.
I had a Lotus Carlton replica (3000gsi) back then and we had great fun terrorizing the streets of Brum. laugh

Keep up the good work. thumb

Yes it is - the R5 was used in a feature in Top Gear magazine about hot hatches. "Hammond Drives the Legends" or something like that as I recall.

Excellent work, it lives up to the minter title.... and some.

Jas, that's very impressive.

One question, though - do you have the right cambelt? It seems unusually narrow for the width of the cogged pulleys and idler/tensioner... I've never done one of these, so I can't be considered an expert, it just stuck out looking at it.

Yes it's the right one, they are quite narrow!

A classic advert for not neglecting cambelt changes!

True! I'll be changing it every year before putting her back on the road each Spring (so every 500-1000 miles or so!)

I have been watching your process on the uno that car is stunning.I was a bit of a uno turbo nut back in the day I have had a white mk1 my second ever car,a green mk1 a grey ph2 and a very clean white mk2.These unos are the reason I still drive a coupe the coupe reminds me of the unos and my youth.Just out of interest how does the uno compare to a coupe I cant remember the last time I was in a uno turbo
