| Tigra Track car build on under £500 LOL
You know what we are like and im bored waiting on parts for my nova and Jonlem is waiting on bits for his escort so we need something to do 
Got an XE which needs a head gasket for £100 with F16 (got full headset on shelf)
An M plate Tigra 1.6 16V in flame pink with 15" hokenheim £100
Parts bought so far
Sabelt harnesses £40 for the pair
Cheapest mount kit anyone can find with hubs to use Calibra equal lenth?? old engine will be exiting the bay tomorrow and we will get the XE on the stand and whip the head off 
See what we can do with the paint which is quite ****e tbh and maybe use the good old matt black colour again as I already have the paint 
Massive diet is of course on the cards and we hope to have it running within a week or so and will keep it updated 
Car is on the ramp and ready to be demolished in the morning and I will update tomorrow

Got abit more done today
Interior is stripped including all the sound proof tar ****e  just need to put the sunroof panel back in after removing it of all its electrical gubbins,removed all unwanted seat brackets too
Bay is stripped out and ready for the engine just got to order the mounts in a moment, bit of a result when stripping the £100 XE down..... its got 270 deg group N cams  with a cheap ebay chip for £20 might go alreet
Headgasket was gone just as expected and i have just dropped the head off to be skimmed tomorrow.
going to make some brackets off of the standard tigra seat rails for the bucket seats to save some money and we sourced some big hubs to go with our Calibra shafts today
pics to follow | |
