Hi Alex, yeah I did see your thread matey. BUT..... tonight I got the top of the bolt off! It turned out that there was an actual bolt in there, in place of a stud! So, the update. There's good and bad news! The bad news is: I have no idea what is wrong, and there's half a bolt stuck on the bit of m...

Yeah I hear that. Current line of thought is to do what I can myself and have a bodyshop do the rear arches and put the "hips" on. I don't want to screw it up. I am worried about removal of the kit though, and not being able to find the rivets or damaging it. Of course, since I wills crap ...

God I just hope I can take it apart fairly easily!

Just taken a punt and hoped for the best lol. I was worried it would go if I tried to wait it out and bid on it or find time for viewing.

Yeah that's right. Carbon bonnet is still with it. I've transferred the cash to him and will have it collected this week

Well... the plan...... lol. I'm still not entirely sure, but initial thoughts are to spend a week stripping the car, then have the shell taken away. Really nervous about the kit removal though, and the prospect of making a mess of it! I did a deal with him at £900, which is pretty good I reckon. Jus...

Uh oh........ I bought it!

What did you end up doing with it?

Cheers I will let you know

I'm based in Leeds and could really do with knowing whether a car I am interested in is worth going for or not.

If anyone could spare half an hour to check it out for me, I am sure I could provide some beer tokens!

I think i should buy it then..... I didn't want to originally spend so much having bodywork done, but this is special..... If I can attach everything bar the quarters myself, and then just have those fitted and the car tidied and sprayed, it should be fairly reasonable I reckon.

Been reading a lot of build stuff. Just how hard would it probably be to remove the TRD kit from that other car? Would I be right in thinking that I could remove the existing front wings and bolt them onto another car, same with the bumper? Would the boot and rear bumper be the same? How hard would ...

It would help sell the clip as a whole, but it might not be cost effective. Id just break down the whole clip and sell it in bits. You will make back the same amount of £ without the turbo as you would with a turbo.... Yeah I agree with that. It's just waiting for stuff to sell. That keeps me on th...

Just out of interest, if I could get a replacement turbo at a good price, would it be worth buying to help sell my clip?

Yeah it seems like it could quickly get very expensive.... I'm not sure whether I could cope with it or not....

Hmm, I think it might be too much work/money involved. Not sure. I don't wanna jump on impulse as that's what I usually do and I get it wrong. On the other hand, that thing won't hang around too long. I can't do what you did with the fibreglass, attaching the rear quarters or welding that bracket to...

Anything I could fit myself, I would, i.e. swap boot lid over etc. Not sure how wings go on or skirts.

Well I wanted a car that I wouldn't have to mess with bodywork :lol: But basically if I did this, I'd have to revise my plan, try and find a decent Rev 3 for upto £3k and have about a £1500 budget for the bodyshop. I'm not a sprayer, and I don't want to be doing anything that I might screw up and no...

to me that car looks like a bit of a bargain, these cars are getting worryingly cheap... so much so i cant see me selling mine for a VERY long time! one thing to note is the front bumper and wings have been bonded as has the rear quarters to the sideskirts, not necessarily a negative if its been do...

Argh you've got my brain going into overdrive now. Jeff, what do you think of the kit? Is it decent as far as the shape/looks go? Does it look like a proper one? There's no point otherwise. If I could pull in about £4k selling all my bits, I could buy a nice Rev 3 Turbo and put a grand towards what,...
