Its been ages,so I thought I would update the thread. Lost 1st gear last week!!!

The pain!! But would like to thank Tony for sorting me out a interim gearbox on Sunday and she is running again.

Also the decat is off the car and for sale!

So next current plan is for Tony to recon my old gear box with a G60 final drive. I hope this is a good mod?

New drop links fitted, though I shafted the bolts lol.

And I found a vento front end, thats the same colour what a touch.

So questions start piano black badgeless vento grill or keep the standard with a black centre badge?

Umm I know its played but I dont really care lol.

The lenses need to be tinted I think. So time to sell the my front end in the next few weeks.

Hey Spadam,

Lots to do and little time to do it.

I am aiming for July this year as I have most of the parts lined up but want to save the pennies as well.

Hoping to get most parts second hand. Drop me your number i'll let you know the deal I got on the Rotrex.
