Also fitted brown dash which looks pretty nifty!

top mincing

Looks really nice will:thumb:

I personally dont like the airbox, but thats only my oppinion!

Interior looks good with the colour too:)

Looks very nice Will,

you have a pm.

thats looks awesome

Looks fantastic. I used to dislike the loons aswell but can now appreciate them due to the amount of nice ones popping up. I love the idea of epas on a nova 1 thing I may look into when I do mine.

I think it looks great as it is it doesn't need to go lower IMO. We all used to want are cars on there ****'s but now me and most of my car mates hate the look of a "slammend" car. Would rather something quite low but still handle/drive nicely. I know what I'd prefere between a car that looks low, or a car that drives nicely. I look forward to reading the feature.

Top work that man.

Cheers dude - I wouldnt consider lowering anymore - its bad enough now... its OK, but any lower would make it unbearable - especially as I use it everyday!

Have done some more mincing... Now that I am back at the 'rents - I have access to all my tools and the garage, so much more mincing is possible..

Was sick of losing my damping adjuster from my Avos... lol

Sold it! So living with my dad with Zoe - she loves it! lol

Ben - yeah - they are the ones that Regal sell for £900 lol They sell them with some random spiggots, but as I have studs, mine are OK....

I need to mil about .001mm from each stud hole to slide them over the studs, but fit well tbh..

I have started fiddling with it again now though and I have some pics, but cant access my Pb account at work - so will upload later....

lol No chance - may as well strap a rocket to a skateboard.

Need it to be drivable!:thumb:

so the saloon is going Let powered then :)

Is it running yet? :)

Nah - I only get to work on it on Saturdays! I work in the week and Sundays are booked for the new house - so its a battle! lol

Will have a big push tomorrow though!

no point pushing if you dont have a clue what your doing! lmfao like a dog chasing his tail, you remind a bit like the local council 'all the gear no idea' but dont worry ill be there! like the hero that i am (maybe i should wear my pants on the outside) should of got it in last week if you didnt spend the the day mincing painting gearboxes etc have you spoke to gareth to book it in to get exhaust mated up? ask him for a flange/sleeve so down pipe etc is removable

Are you on crack?

Annnyyywwaaaayyyy..

A bit more progress today - its a pain in the ass trying to line it up when you're on your own and you have sold mounts! :mad:

PS - Engine is a GENUINE 68k monster - I know the car it came out of and have all the paperwork - so I know it should last a bit!

Rocker cover etc is just to get it in - so I dont scratch the newly powder coated one...

Made the box look nice though

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...3-27140859.jpg

Fitted the 'reds

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...3-27140923.jpg

IN!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...4-02165310.jpg

Spent ages grinding off random mounts that had been welded on the lower panel!?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...4-02162245.jpg

Loads of room!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...4-02161012.jpg

Lots of room for the rad and it fits properly - just have the normal issue of the turbo's inlet ramming against the slam panel!lol

The prince of mince has been busy:thumb:

Will, you can paint gearbox's with Halfords spray paint better than anyone i have ever met!

On a side note with the miles you do i thought an F28 would have been a must have!

That F20 will be broken in about a week lol

Looks quality as ever, but an f28, or an sccr is essential!

how did i miss this i dont no mate im loving it its very simular to what im doing but mine is brown originally

subscribed :thumb:

Top work will, this car deserves a let :p
