reid Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 fair bit more done tonight.zetec radiator out, RST radiator in, welded in brackets to hold it in and fited my intercooler roughly where it'll go. started clearing up the wires a bit ready to be tucked away. welded up my exhaust, then had to grind off the towing eye and weld in a hanger to fit it. car sounds fcuking awesome now!http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh37/srj_mcsar/03052008986.jpg it looks to be hanging a little low on the right in that pic which i never noticed so will sort that mext time im down. started building the front end back up, new wishbones, track rod ends and ARB links, fitted front suspension too. once i finish my arches i'll get the arch liners cleaned up and back in. also got my remote start kit through today which i'll fit during the week, after all the wiring of the engine i feel a bit easier in attempting it myself. next on the cards is to order new brake hoses and find a bush for my rear beam so i can get it fitted again, then finish the skirts and arches. after that i'll be welding up my rear door handles and fitting poppers and fitting the bumpers. then its just interior to go!

One of the benefits of being single is you can spend as much time round the garage as you like Loving the twin exit exhausts mate. But i've been reading through the spec list on the first post and saw you're not gonna be putting a spoiler on. It needs one imo. I know theres some non spoiler fans on here but i reckon the back end look a bit bare without one. As i say, just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i say, just my opinion. i cant even find the pic of the red car i bought that had the twin exhaust and no spoiler and it looked awesome. it made you look twice because there was something different about it. im still contemplating a cossie lower right enough, but thats something that can be decided any time between now and paint. i started an argument when i told her to go buy my holiday clothes LOL. shes away in a huff to get her hair cut, so ive got an hour down the garage that still leaves me time to get home and get washed up so she'll never know before i have to be dragged around shoe shop after shoe shop my car doesnt do that to me Edited May 3, 2008 by reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
