    Ok slow progress this evening, only got 1.5 hours on her planning a long session tomorrow and Friday.

    Braced up


    big hole in boot (not big enough yet though)


    Took a look at the turbo for the 1st time, think om gonna buy an 18t and slap that on


    Next step to get the engine sort of lined up in there, place strut tops in,strengthen the chassis a bit more. Then drop here on the original springs and see if the saxo is even heavy enough to squash them down a bit.

    Well, welcome to the forum mate, it's nice to see a Saxo being used for a genuine purpose, rather than target practice for T5s
