Well most of you know I've got it. I'll start doing bits on the Sud soon. Have been working out a plan for it.

The Sud will be on the road all year round

Been talking to Shrew and have found a 33 1.7 engine going to bolt it to a sud 1.3 box.
So going to weld it up first refit kit, bumper, lights and wings. When get the engine/box collected and fitted. I'm think about gtv front seats for it
Hoping to have it on the road by December.

After it's on the road I'll start on the black cloverleaf ti rebuild

I'll keep adding to the thread

Sounds like a great plan Chris, and I'm pleased that you're keen to put the old girl to good use mate.

At the end of day it's the better car so will get the it on the road
Then spend time and money on the the 2 ti cloverleaf's

Welding in bulkhead area is first then drivers inner wing and a post

Shrew drop the 1.7 engine, 1.3 gearbox and uprated front discs with calipers

Haven't done anything to this as been doing the 145 turbo and now doing the the white 155 with the diesel engine.

But sorted out some bits to go and collect.........full roll cage and stainless steel exhaust. Plus got a set of 14" revolution rfx to get refurb'd

Sounds like you've been busy getting some goid bits together Chris,

Glad to know she'll be getting pampered with some tlc and choice parts mate, nice one

I'm glad it's being saved! great news. (previous owner here)

Looking forward to pics.

Well looks like it will be getting Shrew's 1.2ti gearbox now

Looking at getting started March time after I've moved

Haha, I'd have to start the project to have a thread lol! It's a 1.5 Greencloverleaf plastic bumper. The floor and jacking points are in great condition but the wings have been falling off all by themselves for months!

The plan for this is too cut rust out replace with nice metal, roll cage, seats in front plus rear, 1.7 engine and 1.2ti gearbox
The work will stay as it is for abit

Will also be bumperless
