Thanks mate,
She was looking very tired when I first got her, only had her just over 2 months and spent more than I wish to declare on her. But she's looking Beautiful now, and all mechanical issues have be sorted, new gearbox, new clutch, new slave and master cylinders, new multiple layer head gasket, 2x new drive shafts, new cam belt/tentioners and water pump, updated oil feeds and sills ect, updated valve stems, port and polished head, new flexi, new cat, new discs and pads all round, refurbished the calipers, new rads, new thermostats, new alternator, new battery, 4x new tyres, piper exhaust, pipercross induction kit, remapped ecu to make full advantage of V-power nitro plus 99 Ron fuel, new inlet manifold and throttle body, new Sony Bluetooth head unit, new vibe font components, vibe 6x9's, 12" 1600watt vibe sub, 5% limo tints, new badges front and rear and treated the bodywork to a full clay bar and detail to get the paint shiny again lol.
Not gonna say how much I've spent on her but she was worth every penny, I wouldn't want any other car to be honest.

Future plans are:
Painting wheels,
Full body respray,

Just one thing after all that.

Dont sell it!!!

:thumbsup :

TonyK7ng · 10-07-13, 10:15 AM

In all fairness ill never sell her. She's being kept as a daily driver for as long as I can keep her on the road. Does everything I need her to do and eventually she'll looks like she's just come out the factory but with some tasteful mods.
I.E carbon fibered up in all the right places.
Got a friend in OZ who makes custom carbon fibre bits. So will give him specs ect and have them built.

Sounds good.

reaper0709 · 10-07-13, 10:46 AM

bloody hell mate you have been busy, you'll have to let us know how you get on with the other work/mods. Be interesting to see the carbon work

well done to you.

Steven11 · 10-07-13, 11:23 AM

Carbon sounds good, when is it going in for the re-spray

TonyK7ng · 10-07-13, 04:30 PM

I'm hopin the car fund kitty will be topped up by April next year. But fingers crossed and might be done sooner.
The carbon fiber bits will be done real soon, gotta take all the bits off that I want done and send over the measurements.
He's advised me that will take around 2 to 3 weeks to have them all fabricated them shipping time is around 10 to 15 days.
Will post pics once all done and dusted

Dont want to take work from your mate, but I think Dazzer, Locking Vinyl, Site Trader on here does Carbon Wrapping.

Dont know any prices, but would be a quicker delivery!!
