wide arch classis build
ok here it is, bought this classic when i was 18. i jumped straight into it and what a mess i came out with, the car was s*i*e.
Here it is the 1st day i gt it, what a mess, wrong colour f bumper, bk bumper hanging on, the engine was a version 6 r-a with version 2 heads, full 3" decat bk system, induction kit,boost controller and a fmic.
it then went into limp with me, and it wouldnt run proply. took it to AS PERFORMANCE, (i will never go there again even if my life depended on it) and they said it was the crank that had went a lie straight away as the car was still running when it went into limp, then charged me 1400 for a new engine told me it would be the same,and they but a version 2 engine in, on a r-a e.c.u. it still wouldnt start, charged me another 50 quid for a crank sensor and it started, but missing and over fueling, which i could asure was from running a r-a e.c.u v6 obn a v2 engine, they didnt want to know, so i was left with a 1450 bill and a car that was still f.ked.
somepics before it went into my garage.
slammed on b-c coilovers that i had bought, bumper sprayed up bk bumper on proply door handles colour coded black wheels and drilled and groved vented front and bk brakes.
got it in my garage and the fun begins, (ANTI BODYKITS LOOK AWAY NOW)
the kits trial and i hate it, miles out everywhere, front bumper is the worst bk bumper ive already smoothed bits in, arches smoothed into the skirts.
f bumper is getting all smoothed out aswel
dash came out for a facelift dash centre and arm rest, and yes u can put a facelift dash in a preface lift, ive made a fake heater face custom mounted my heater controls behind, and cleared the ***** so they look like there floated out of the fake face, and ive used my old clocks
im going for 4 bucket seats ive used my old 1s as a template for the mounts i droped the petrol tank and made some custom mounts for them.... yes im making it a show car.
took off inlet mani boost pipes and turbo will be off soon to go to the chromers.
couple of the inside
couple of how the car stands now

which one?
and what part of project do you not understand, both of these cars arnt the finished project,
the kitted one was going to get all smoothed over,
the silver one has been stripped off for everything, im using the 4x4 plan for a cossie build, the rest i will use for my other scooby shells.
