Im getting a 150mph gauge.

I think 200mph might be too high, wish ETB had a 180mph gauge

Hi Steve,

Orange bodywork......great colour choice.....and the gel coat on mine after 4 years still looks great.

Think yours will be a little bit swifter than my 1.6 though!

Nice gauges.

Gauges is another project I was looking at doing. Might be sooner rather than later (over winter perhaps).

I need to get the windscreen replaced again over winter. Using tiger seal, could damage the dash. So a good excuse. We will see.

180BHP at first is a nice figure to get used to the car. Could still be enough to cause you damage as I found out with the Rover turbo. Though had a ball bearing manual BMV which did not help.

Good progress!
