The Raven Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Just read your selling post. Mate ive been there, not on your level but to the point i wanted to burn it and forget it. My guess is and feel free to tell me to piss off. Life is causing you to get down, so you get rid of things that cause you stress, that's why my car spent so long hidden in a lock up out of sight out of mind. If you want a cuppa and chat you got my number and i dont mind picking you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had the best of luck with things aside from this but my main priority is getting this done and ticked off the list. I'll have to catch up with you soon I'm struggling with some shitty flu at the moment. Thanks for the words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMorris Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 For what its worth - doing my project I learned that there are many ups and downs when you are trying to build something unique and different. Some people will let you down and others will amaze you with there work ethics. In the end, once its finished to your liking, all of the low times will fade away and you'll be left with a load of stories to tell and much more knowledge about undertaking these sort of projects. Keep with it Kaan, my car took years to complete and its nowhere near as nice as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the delay is. If your referring to my work the car was spot on when it left my hands. None of these problems are down to me.

Kaan W Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Little update, The car has been arranged to be picked up from Baldy's on Monday. He has modded the strut which looks awesome and I won't have any worries of the turbo coming into contact with it. He has also re constructed the tops of the struts as there was risk of cracking from the stress of the coilovers. The hole for the intercooler piping was also cut so once the car's back the engine should fit nice and snug and work can be continued for the fuel lines, exhaust, wiring etc. I've also got a LHD brake master cylinder which Lee is gunno use instead to insure the brake lines are well away from any heat source. I'll update with some pictures soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
