KiNK43 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That's amazing 200 quid. Nice. Looks alright aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampo657 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 It was a lot worse mate. This was probably a year later.. it needed new exhaust and new clutch and the standard cam seal oil leak...but still a bit of a steal. Will do the cosmetic stuff once I can source good parts for reasonable prices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 That was deffo a steal! Looking forward to seeing where you take this one. Love an aerodeck (but then I'm biased! lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampo657 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Image of engine bay before I purchased the car. Painted the rocker cover....Before I took it to one of them car washes for a "steam clean" turns out they used a jet wash and got rid of all my hard work and got water in sparks etc...(never again). Haven't taken a picture since the bay has been cleaned and paint removed Have since removed the a/c unit as was not working and to make room for the turbo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampo657 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Been busy this weekend with these swap outs. Still needing a few bits and tinkering but progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Looks like it's coming on well. Not being critical but I'd have saved the cash for the skunk intake and splashed out on a decent exhaust manifold. I fear that will constantly be cracking. Looks good tho.

Was just a cheap eBay kit. If it cracks IL buy again. If it cracks again IL spend more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
