Typhoon 2 Project
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:





strip time:









and strip the original:





then rebuild:







couldnt be bothered to clean it so stuck it through the £2.50 car wash at Tesco lol:





(number plate for sale, Offers)

Gave the engine bay a quick clean up:



started to fit the rear electric windows:




next stage to to clean up these beauties ready to be fitted as didnt realise they got this bad on my other one:





so thats what stage i am at the mo,

things to do are:

full correction and ceramic coating
wheel refurb
engine bay detail
and all under the wheel arches

think thats it for now

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