lupohunty Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Final got bonnet back on and few little jobs around the car , few little bits left but at the mo it's having a good machine polish to get some the swirls out . Still a few marks that I can't get out but it's 13 years old a few things that I can do in winter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarnieVaile Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 ive got another couple of questions for you1. how much roughly did the engines weight lower the car as ill be running big wheels and very little drop because of the 12 speed bumps I need to cross to get off my estate so a couple of inch sump clearance might be a bit of a pain in the ass2. did you need to fit the bonnet risers or was that a style choice?3. was the intercooler a custom job or is their a off the shelve option?4. can you still fit the inner archers in?thanks for any helpCarnievaile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
