well i\'m almost half way through swaping things over now, just got to remove the crossmember on the blue car, so i can swap that over) then it\'s just the wireing and everything can start to go back into the car :D

i\'ve got a few quetions tho, did KYB make the standard shox, as the blue shell has shock made by them, did some cars come with the the anti roll bar welded on?( the strap that holds the bush down that is)

anyway here are some pics.

Cool colour :D

What do you have left to do?

KYB is an aftermerket jobby, good choice though, not too dissimilar to stock (which when new is pretty damn good) and not a bad price either.

goody goody one less thing to wurry about for the moment, i dont think the pics of the blue car are half as good as they are in person!

erm, chop and swap the loom, swap the crossmember for the red one\'s,fit and bleed the clutch lines to the gearbox,fit the prop and gearbox and engine and odds and sods,hopefully it will be done before the end of summer, thats the problem of been so far from the car, be done much quicker if i could work on it at a night.

the blue one WAS SUPERB

put it this way - i could take a corner at over 90 in that - and i will only attempt the same corner at about 60 in the TII

so i take it that you are now keeping the cars and making one good one ?

plan is to build it up to a good one :D dunno if i\'m gonna bge keeping it tho since i\'m gonna be a dad again( boy this time) maybe keep it as a weekend car or track/drift car.

has anyone ever supercharged a 13b? since i have one free side in the engine bay would be handy to slot one in there

ooh and the cars almost ready to go back together, just need to fit the wireing loom or chop it, not likeing eather choice tho the dash seems hard to remove!

stu did the car have some rust down near the front drivers side along the sill/arch area when u had it? looks like its had some and been fixed
