recaro seats out of a proton gti believe it or not, this is how the car is now running but not on the road waiting for a lambda sensor and a coupler to join the exaust properly then have to spray the piece of body work under th headlights silver to match the car and spend 4 ad a half hours on strippin and spraying 3 more wheels before its completed. very happy with the way its turned out and considering im a 22yr old plumber it hasnt been to difficult tbf taken a fair while tho but if you get all the bits you need and dont do it during freezing conditions lol i dont think it take to long. thats abf loom,management,gearbox,hydrolic cluth,engine,cableshift all done by my own two hand.lol proud :grin:haha. hmm dreaming of abf trbo by the end of this year now next project please.lol

Took her up the road today put a massive smile on my face just even pullin through low revs as I didn't have any brake because they have been unused for 5months. But the revs were climbing fast at half throttle proper excited about opening her up properly exspecting good things
