Edit: Updated pics
I've been lurking around on the forum for a bit but I thought I put some pictures up of my current and on going project.
It was originally a 1978 3.0s, but I've put in a 4.2l RV8, OMEX engine management, borg warner T5 gearbox, 5 link on the rear axle, x pack kit, new wheels, new propshaft, Hi Spec front brakes, new dash, brooklands interior....
I've got a list much longer than my arm of stuff I need and plan to get done, but the main items are new rear discs (hispec 4 pots hopefully!), full rebuild of the front suspension with comrpession struts, adjustable TCAs, eccentric top mounts and GAZ uprights, roll cage, trim the interior sort of 911 GT3 style (carpets and bucket seats and harnesses).
Then who knows, I quite like the idea of getting a 4.6L ford 32v V8 in there....
Thanks for looking!

im loving that bet its great fun in the wet!
What's going on with the ignition? I assume the dizzy cap is there as a blank?@ soad - The interior is on the list, but I want to wait for the roll cage to be welded in and then I'll take it to an interior fitter and get it all done in one hit. I want a pair of bucket seats, preferably leather upholstered with red piping, door cards in leather, then black carpet everywhere else. It'd be quite cool to get all the grey dash covered too. All depends on the cost of course!

what is the omex system like to use and fit?
nice capri too btw
Its a dream! Originially I was running the standard rover fuel injection system and it was terrible. It wouldn't start, it would run very roughly, it was pissing fuel out and not running right. Anyway, after having it all fitted and remapped its fantastic. It supports fully sequential ingnition and injection, will run anything up to 12 cylinders, has data logging capability if you want it, can run turbos etc etc.nice capri too btw
The software is also very easy to use and pretty intuitive. Much simpler than MESL software if any of you have used that although obviously not as comprehensive and powerful.
I didn't fit it though, it was all done by Northampton Motorsport and they did a lovely job.
king-perb!
