Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
What front spoiler is that you've got there then?
Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
am i right in thinking its a kamei spoiler, i'm not too sure. what i do know is that it has two bloody great cracks in it :/
Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
Got some pictures of the repaired rear bumper today
Bearing in mind it had two dirty great rusty holes in each corner, i think it came out nicely

Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
it does have the added extra of sounding amazing as well as looking good, though does need welding up as its only held with u-bolt clamps atm. time to focus on the oily bits now though me thinks.
Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
Well the car gets moved to its long term home in the back of a shed tomorrow (high tech, i know), and will be sorned while i do the engine swap and other mods. So no more waking up half the countryside with that exhaust but on the plus side i do get to drive between to very close and high walls with the windows down

Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
I'd like to be a fly on the dash the first time you take it for a blast after the conversion. Anyone who's done it will confirm what a transformation it makes! The first thing you'll say with be F*$@!!!!!!!!
Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
haha i hope so, i may even make a video of the first drive, so you can all see me laugh like a madman! Has the engine been posted yet?

Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
I don't think it will have gone anywhere today as it's a bank holiday. I'll call tomorrow and check for you.
Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
oh forgot you lucky buggers had a bank holiday, no such luck up here, not that famers ever get to take them off anyway...
Re: Spartan, 2.5i convertion
Car is now SORN'd, and in the back of a shed
Plus i found this:
Which was supposed to have been welded up at the garage, I won't be going back there again, thats for sure.
