parcel shelf is done rear seats back in and amp panel made and rest of stereo wiring done aswell

just thought id post some pics of the finished door trim on the car, the amp panel now trimed (got alot to do in the boot still) and i painted the front panel under bumper

colour is closer than it looks in the pics as it is hard to get the right colour in photos one angle looks bright red other looks deep burgandy

[nasty1]

im hoping you got pics with it sitting lower?

[clubsport_replica]

small update done oil change plugs n filters had to replace a few gaskets up top as they were like concrete and re timed the car all is running good next is to service to box and wheel bearings..

also painted the grille yesterday has made a huge difference

well went to WSC and picked up me front and rear kings ultra lows and matching front n rear shocks..

shocks and springs were the original items too hock: hock: hock:

maybe its a bit low i dunno ill see how i go with them

[clubsport_replica]

well spent today doing the tint and then gave it a quick was as it got dirty as hell going to phils last weekend...






and im now looking at either turbo 202 and rebuilt gearbox or V6 and manual (prefered) for engine choices..

[clubsport_replica]

new sub box and flase floor done today just need to decide on trim im ditching the vynal and going carpet... either black or red dont know yet.

[clubsport_replica]

ok this is as far as i have gotten with it....

bow down, the reason im either turboing the 202 or fitting the v6 with manual as this will be a daily and i want it reliable.. (the 6 wont stay na either)

yeh she sits low but suprisnly it hasnt scrapped on anything yet and rides awsome just need to swap out all the old bushes with nolathane ones to get it cornering better and new tyres would help too (sounds like im doing skids just turning corners)
