I see from the one graph that you are around Kempton, my hometown, so I really hope to see this car "in the flesh" :clapper:

 

[Captain_Stealth]

No worries. Goodluck and looking forward to the rest of the build

Thanks man hopefully small update this weekend

Thanks man appreciate it, only thing that worries me if my motor decides to give in the car will be sitting for a long time.

Stalker ???

Haha just kidding I am in Fourways but my tuner is in Kempton. You might see me on the way there then.

Took some pics of the damaged radiator and found that I also need a new fan shroud

If anyone know where I can get a found shroud for cheap please let me know. Thanks

So woke up this morning couldn't get much done but at least my garage is looking better. My 3.64 diff was welded today with my mig welder. Welds not the greatest. But I am hoping she will hold up.

Here is how much oil came out of that Diff

Didn't take pics of the final welded diff due to the bloody rain :/

Here is a teaser of some of my parts to go in soon

As promised radiator pics.

As you can see my car ain't no pageant contestant but for the price it was great.

So here are the pics

Where it broke

New rad. Temp mounted till my pulleys arrive

Radiator core is slightly bigger but I am happy that I didn't go oem as this thing is flippen lekker

PS the worst think about the old radiator is it has hair on it, so its a hairy radiator lol

The radiator is being donated to a fellow fanatic for testing purposes

Coil overs in - Only done the fronts as I ran out of time
These come with a swaybar endlinks that converts your non M to M type setup on the sway bars. As for the ride they are not bouncy at all, but I need to change the rears to appreciate the upgrade.

Roof Is in but from all the welding my rear glass shattered, so car is off for polycarbonate windows on Monday. Dont replace, upgrade !!!
