I have bought a Firenza E coupe and my plan is to fit a 2.0ltr 230bhp Turbo lump from a Rover. As some off you know ive done this conversion before but I never used the car to its full potential so i want to do it again.
I have in line a Reliant scimmitar Lsd axle that I will be converting to disc's they reckon there indestructable we will see front brakes will be Droopsnoot calipers with Peugeot vented disc's and coilovers all around with possibly 8x14 rear and 6x14 front wheels
I plan to make it as light as possible hence putting this in the modifications thread rather than the restoration one.
I will be removing all off the metal in the dash and parcel shelf and any metal that can be removed anywhere else, to make it as light as possible
Hopefully Mike will come up trumps with the fiberglass doors bonnet and boot .
Inside there will be only a rollcage and 2 seats and a small dash (and a spare pair off pants )
Outside will be bright yellow with a black bonnet but but keeping it looking as standard as possible , this may change over time, Im hoping to have it finished this time next year .
Firstly i need to get the shell up to scratch as its pretty rusty I will add pics as I go along .
This is the car as I had it
my car roller I made
The rusty bits
Rear floor near side
rear floor offside
Inner wing and battery tray
front chassy rail
Shock mounts
gearbox mounts
this is what i have done so far
