Typhoon 2 Project

[Steves Cleenz]

Well, thought i might put up a build thread,

story is, i had my original Typhoon 4 years and in that time it got wrote off and i bought it back and rebuilt it, well things on the car started to go bad, found a hell of a lot of rust on it, found out that it had already been in a smash before me and the repair was starting to rust up and bubble, paint kept peeling on it and TBH honest i lost interest in it, couldn't show it off because of these faults, so was offered a swap for mine for a 2004 typhoon, light front end damage and this one was only on a CAT D, so the plan was to take the whole front end off my one and put in on the 2004 one, along with my suspension, exhaust rear electric windows and interior, so here are some pics:

the new one straight out the Scappers:

You have got to have that plate!!!

[big_wasa]

It has novelty value but it wont make my zed any faster.

I am guessing if I have to ask I can not afford it :confused:

Looks good Steve, lucky to find one to swap the parts.

On the other hand it will customise your car to you more ;) and will look good!
