I'm just about to tackle fitting TOM's kit to mine. Genuine skirts so they shouldn't be a problem... Fake front bumper could be trouble though!

To be honest the front bumper was quite easy to do, 2 small cuts behind the sidelights and a bit of filler work and all went well

After doing a little bit of swapping parts over from the tubby to the n/a,Mainly the seats, I keep looking at the tubby and the thoughts of turning it back to stock keep cropping up in my head,

Now the big question is do i or don't i,

Answers on a post card would be great

Keep it stock buddy .....its a clean car and a good base to start from.

[philmr2]

I think stock is the way to go mate

Had to put them on darren, it made my drive full of mr2's

[philmr2]

After swapping a few bits out of the tubby i decided the cream interior would look better in the n/a and hey presto the transformation was excellent









The tubby now looks stock with the standard interior, Itching to get the engine out and stripped down now.

*gets coat.

[philmr2]

You can never have 2 many 2's

After deciding to take the skirts of the n/a at the weekend to strip them right back to get a good finish on the paint i came across an unwelcome visitor to the car









So after a couple of nights of thinking the best way around this ive come to the conclusion of turning the tubby into a lot nicer car than i was planning on doing, The n/a now looks a little worse for ware







Atleast theirs a light at the end of the tunnel

[craig]

Take it the sills on the turbo are spot on?

[philmr2]

Oh yes it had about £500 odd pounds spent on them by the previous owner, So thought ide rather put the cash into the tubby rather than the n/a, But atleast i can stock pile some useful spares of the n/a

[craig]

Sounds like a plan!

[stace110]

Its a shame buddy but atleast you can make some money for the tubby by breaking the n/a .....ill buy a few bits off you .

[philmr2]

No probs mate, Had a change of heart on the bodykit ime going to keep it stored away in my workshop, i think ide regret selling it, Going to spend some time on the bumpers and skirts and get them painted and polished so there super shiny.

[philmr2]

Well the end is nigh for the n/a, After pottering around the n/a for the past week or so the poor old car now looks a little different to how it did





After getting the interior looking quite smart in the old girl things now look worse for wear






But atleast alot of the parts will be in the tubby

More pictures and updates to come i feel

[philmr2]

Now the n/a has departed its time to start on the tubby so with the car so far up in the air at the back end it can only mean one thing.....



ENGINE TIME ...........







Out with the old and now the car is waiting to have the new engine fitted

[craig]
