Oh yes, also the back box when i got it wasnt even fittted on propely, one of the bolts on the clamp had snapped off and it was jutt dangling on bare threads of metal... so ripped that off.

Let me know what you think of kit and boot, i know its not the way FORWARD but i still think if i kept at it, it would look class!

Gonna put standard kit on again tommorow morning as it seems too much work getting it all smoothed in. The need to sell the boot with that smoothed in spoiler and sell the bodykit, its a direct fit well easy to do... will post it in for sale section i should think!

Please get that white shit off, it looks ok, but really isnt right for this project dan. sell it for a couple hundred smacks and get yourself some tuning goodies

Also i really hope the paint isnt faded on the sides like mine was!!!

The way forward seriously is majorly tidy engine bay, stripped, bar the dash, roll cage and compo's

Then some TB's

Yeah was thinking maybe just keep that boot on, cant really tell what it will look like until it gets full re-spray but thats a long way down the line as i keep getting ripped off with every engine that i buy! Fingers crossed it will turn up tommorow!

Dan put that bodykit and boot on ebay and offer it to mad mike

The boot is full of filler, way to much weight
