re-shelling (pics of potential replacement)
« on: 19 February 2012, 16:20 »
So transferring my lump across hopefully to new shell, what else needs to go?

Clocks
Ecu
Engine
Door locks

Anything else?

howcome your putting it into a new shell?

and off the top of my head there the only things i can think of, poss engine loom and gear box depending on what model the shell is.

No not 4mo unfortunately but does involve a freshly resprayed shell, and its not blue :sad:

Interior as it stands is bare, not entirely sure how much of mine will be going in there..

001 will be strapped in in the process :wink:

What else is inferior on a 1.4 shell to a 1.8t?

Front hubs done and breaks already..

I know what it is now...

Don't think there is much else you need to change mate, all the other stuff is the same AFAIK

You know black is a biatch to keep clean don't you :wink:
