volvoboy · 20-06-2008, 11:22

bin busy on her the past few weeks, heres a few pics:

standard lights

nice HID's

only got 1 racing seat in so far, as the passenger footwell is being used as a storage space

engien just about ready to come out

engine out

engine ready to go back in, with sump and engine mounts swapped over also had a little clean and a nice new clutch

engine in

the engine is mainly plumbed in, with exception to the turbo, but hopefully the turbo will b on 2day, as me and my dad r makin a pipe up to move the turbo.

a few more bit on the interior

i love those gauges, lol,

still got wiring and fueling to sort out but getting there

Papercutout · 20-06-2008, 16:03

Nice one, we were going to do this to a mates one the other day, just before he sold it. But had to pull out with less than a day to do the conversion, and no exhaust pipe and a few other probs, so we just stuck the clio engine back in. Then it re-broke the bellhousing

Can't wait to see this done!
