Spoon Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I had to modify the bracket for the power steering pump as it sits low on the engine, at the same time i shortened the inlet manifold to prevent future clearence issuescant find the coilovers which is abit weird and all the brakes and rear beam are under loads of stuff in a cupcoard so cant get any pictures, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north wales loop Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 did you do the carbon bits yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Well it was a blue roadster, slammed on grey wheels with a white pin stripe. Painted it white and put Lamborghini doors onit then some bloke from Leicester offered me silly money for it do I sold it 2 weeks after it was painted lol. As for the carbon bits, yeah I did, it was alot of hard work flating the resin every time but it wasn't that hard if you wanted to try it yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well it was 3 years old and they where going for about about £5,500 and the bloke offered me £7,250 cash so I snapped his hand off haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbucksvw Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 haha brilliant deal, no wonder you took the offer... now your going to have a sweet lupo because of it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm hoping so, I cant wait until I've got it running so I can start on making a new manifold for the big turbo, it's killing me not being able to commit to engine work until its starts up. Hopefully not long now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
