What are your plans for it?

well..
My Grandfather bought her in 1995'ish as a wedding car...
Que photo

1996 this was taken hence the quality!!
She looked real good then, little did we know the filler that was hiding a multitude of sins

I might put her back on the road.

Dunno yet..

How easy is it to strap a supercharger to it?

I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult, power increase would be negligible though!

Some inspiration for you, unfortunately most of the roadkill episodes have disappeared from YouTube

Aye I loved Roadkill, shame they removed it!!

MOD was the way forward for them

I quite fancy doing something silly with it, maybe fit a Turbo off a bentley or something, as the manifolds are same just with a flange "fnarr" welded on

330hp and over 550nm is achievable
the N/A engines do have a silly low compression so that may be an issue!

Nothing to worry about if you're confident.

Go in, do exam, pass exam, leave.

Rubbish I'm afraid.
Any potential job that pays the same as I'm on now will involve more work and/or overtime and nobody wants that.
If it weren't for my mortgage I'd take any job but I need to income to get rid of the mortgage so it's a catch 22 at the moment.

I could always take a lower paying job but all that would do is lengthen the time I'd have a mortgage for and right now my ultimate goal is to get rid of it as soon as I can.

Miserable as you seem to be doing your present job, it is good that you didn't act impulsively and tell 'em what to do with it!

A couple years will pass very quickly if you try to look positively at what you've got and what you are soon going to end up with!
