What next for a 120?

[mattie007]

The 120 was due to be replaced this summer but I am now going to keep it for at least another three years.

What else can I do to it?
The 180 bodykit is almost complete and I'm pretty happy with the exterior, just need some 17/18" alloys.

What do people recommend for the interior and engine?

Interior is harder. If you can get some Monaco seats perhaps. Dashboard is harder. Nice Stereo, not huge but nice. Crisp
Filter obviosly, Something rorty that can help the breathing. BMC perhaps are you after power, or show or both?

How about fitting the turbocharger and bits from a MG ZT 160+ ?

That would be the route I would take......find a crashed ZT 160 (1.8 k series Turbo) get the engine rebuilt with the Land Rover bits in (just take all the extra precautions because of the turbo) and get a Torsen type B diff fitted in the gearbox (ask Intelligent Tuning or see thread elsewhere ) have that dropped into your ZS......sell your engine and gearbox to make some money back and go have some serious fun

Along the way you could get some stainless exhaust manifolds from Janspeed a decat and cat back exhaust system, induction set up fitted.........wow dude.......the possibilities are endless! Think outside the box and there is a new world out there

I think.............Dreadnaught were trialling a supercharged 1.8 k series as well come to think of it.

Depends on if you are after performance as well as the sex appeal

get some monaco half leather seats, or full leather if you can find some, nice soft touch steering wheel, or coloured one. Could go for luxury interior with rover 45 wood trims. rear electric windows, heated seats. 180 brakes. the worlds to osyter really with these.

As for the interior........EMS have a range of Monaco seat covers in stock and these will transform the interior of your car no end.

You have also brought me around quite nicely to the interior trims..........as I type this, Wilko66 came around with his son this afternoon and stripped my car to take all the crappy trims away and spray them in silver and laquar them up......got to say.........looks very sexy to me........and I cannot wait to get it all fitted up tomorrow Pictures will be being put up along with a stamp of 'Bandit Approval' I am sure

I reckon if you like what Wilko66 has done to the interior he may do yours if you cross his palms with silver you can only ask

You got rear headrests? Not expensive but it does make the car look more classy.

Turbo idea is nice but too costly for me
Ive got a green leather wheel, so green leather monaco's would be nice!
