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.

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.

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.

Flocked dash?

Car looks very nice. What kind of mpg do you get with the turbo regular /beasting driving?

Flocking flocked up! Huge pain in my ass but so worth it.

I think mileage right now it's about 29 to 27 freeway. Once you're in boost it goes to shit. Probably 15 lol. Who cares tho. This thing is so fun
