Ok well i've sold the Aero Kit, I'm going a back to the calais look (Two tone) House of Kolor Kandy Red over Silver.
I've bought an engine, Forged Bottom end (i will go into details later)
New 19" Rims.
The engine bay is 80% Complete, Hole Proof and dent proof... Its smooth as. Battery tray is removed, Fuse box is moved and put into the glove box. Wiring will be done by my mate an electrician -- all wires will be hidden.
Overall Completion is about 75%... Still the Inlet, ECU, and fuel source to go.
