So this is reshell with alterations and a tidy up! How she was when I found her! {} {} {} I been stripping it down more to inspect everything underneth and wax oil every thing!

haha, quite a funky colour you got going there for the engine bay. Like how you done the wheelwhells, simple but effective!
I just figured that the wheels ain't 24" and only ever really caught the front edge and factory look wasn't ugly so just thought I'd brighten it up a bit
I thought the modded subframe and arm would have been in worse condition that it actually was. So I won't be repainting it although colour combinationis a bit out there lol {} Generated from my Samsung GALAXY Note 4 using tools.rackonly.com
So I sold the r154 as I fancied 6 speed gearbox and had this plan to go BMW gearbox (gs653dz) but after further research I was horrified at the thought of having such short gears on the road so after a lot of pondering and a bit of lucky timing I was tagged (thanks jonnymac) into a for sale thread from Mr Mike Marshall selling this Collins adapter kit and everything needed to do the swap. So after a chat with Stuart egdell (team redmist) I jumped on it! {} {} Had to do some chopping to reduce the size as this box is massive! {} {} Box nearly made it in but still needs a lot more chopping and tunnel needs a fair mount of tapping with a sledge hammer! {}
Looking forward to it! Have you used those XTD clutches before this build? Any word or opinion on them?
Not too familiar with them to be honest so wouldn't like to say and not done enough miles with mine. I think reeper32 has used them a fair bit!
