Mechanically it is spot on and drives like a new car. I've only had to put a set of tyres on it, a new alternator and handbrake shoes. The bodywork does needs a little bit of work though. The previous owner had an accident with the near side wing. Unfortunately he had a go at beating it out himself and actually caused more damage than the original accident did. Anyway I've been quite lucky and recently managed to get 2 new/unused wings and a front valance from an abandoned restoration project. So over the winter I'll be getting it in the workshop to sort the bodywork out.

Kelvin.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the following is what I did to my 250 Turbo to get a genuine 359bhp:

Fully rebuilt engine
Lightened and balanced crank / rods / pistons
Lightweight 6-puck clutch and flywheel
Refurbished cylinder head
Ceramic coated headers and crossover pipe
Bigger injectors - I honestly can't remember how big, 85lb?
Hayward & Scott decat exhuast
TiAL 45mm wastegate
TiAL "monster" blow-off valve
Lindsey stage 2 intercooler
Hard pipes
Autronic SM4 standalone management with boost control and MAP sensor
Custom map
Lindsey Super 75 dry turbo running 21psi
MSD CDI ignition with coil on plug setup
No air-con
No PAS

As I say with all of that it made 359bhp, and I think you'll agree it's fairly extensively modified. I'm not looking to get into willy-waving, but I'm afraid I question your 360bhp output to the tune of about 80bhp.

Anyway back to the pics.
Most of you have seen all these before but since I can't go and fiddle with it until the weekend I'm having to sit here and stare at the pictures so I'm going to force them upon you lot too ;)

That looks good, lovely blue & the colour coded wheels actually work. They don't in some colours but do in this for some reason :?
