Rich-k Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks guys!! I keep just visualising how its going to look and get excited! Im not sure weather i go for a front tow hook? I've not always been a fan but i seen one done nicely tucked into the bumper and i really likee it! And when i go on track if the worst happens I've got something to get towed on as i dont like the look of the factory one haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich-k Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 So finally I've cracked on!! Gotta fair few things to update, firstly I've bought a set of CD clocks so hopefully now ill have a set of gauges with a rev counter lol!N secondly.....i dont need to primer anything else!!! After a long day I've got my wings smoothed, mirror caps done and the other side primed for the final time! So once im back off my holiday in 2 weeks i can get it all stripped sanded and painted!!!And whilst i was out picking my girl friend up from work my mates decided it would be funny to chop my back box off n fit a stainless table leg on lmfao so I've had to make an exhaust tip to fit and custom make a clamp etc but i didnt have time to do that today lol! Tbf it sounds pretty good hahaha I've got a video but dont know how to upload it! Dont worry it wont be staying but i dont have any choice but to use it for the time being as my backbox is now dead hahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich-k Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Im planning on doing a turbo build for this car, im thinking of buying a low milage damaged sportif, and using that engine, and once its built use my old engine and body panels put it back on the road and sell it, i dont have a huuge budget but not after huge silly power, i will be using the standard ct9 and just refresh the engine etc, i think i know everything i need but im new to all this as I've never turboed an n.a car before so if anyone can send me over any advice at all ill be very thankful! Thank you!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
