I've had this 2 door for 4 years now, just in storage. Mostly because I've had other projects on the go but also because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. At one stage I had collected enough parts to do a complete tidy up with a hotted up A15, 5 speed, repaint in white (still got the paint) and reco the interior and just cruise in it, but I kept changing my mind. I always wanted to do what I'm doing now but just didn't have the currage to chop up a tidy (only found two small spots of rust in the floor, even after the baremetal respray) 2 door sedan. But its my car and if I don't do it some one else will, or it could get written off so I might as well enjoy it.
Even though I've gone for a race car setup with the cage and 4link etc I've made sure it will still be very driveable, the turbo isn't to extreme and neither are the cams and I'll be running power assisted brakes and a few other things to keep it easy and fun so I can take it out in the weekends and not have to fight with the car all the time. I'm really excited about it, its been a long time and now its finally coming together.
