Flocked dash?

Excited to hear about the engine related changes. Also glad to hear its been reliable!

Beautiful car man, I'm going to read through the whole thread now.
Looking to turbo my M42 as well, aiming for about 250hp with good response. It should be a tonne of fun.

I didn't attend B-Fest so here you fellas go. This is the current state of my car.
No engine bay pics yet because its not ready to be shown to the world. Ive decided to make a few major changes so info on that will come soon.

O.Z Vega 3 piece mesh 15x7 fully restored.
et 14 front
et 10 rear


Still quite a few cosmetic things to address. The paint is really showing its age now so Im starting to think about where to get a re spray here in the near future. Its been quite a journey to get to this point. Its finally fully functional and reliable. Very rewarding feeling if I must say.

I may be the first one to kill a TRE 304 fuel pump. Went out cruising on sunday and lost fuel pressure a couple miles from my house

So i decided to coast into a parking lot and wait by some yellow flowers.

New wheels are O.Z. Vega 3 piece. Still working on the caps.

Mine is running smooth as silk now after some additional tuning... and upping boost. Should be over 200rwhp now since I just dyno'd 192rwhp @ 8psi and upped it to 10psi. She pulls nice...

What suspension you throwing under it?
