Need to know as i'm looking at buying one, but don't really like the look of them and don't want the hastle of filling in holes, i'd rather just wait for another car to come along which doesn't have them.
Thanks guys, James

restoration is slow progress as i only have about 2 1/2 hour a day to work on the car and shite pay to work with.

lovin all the sleeper cars and round of aplause to bonus boy for his mint cars

dunketh · 21-05-2008, 08:50 AM

So why is it that the rubbish models last so much better than the performance ones?
My eclipse wasnt even undersealed and is still minty fresh under there yet virtually every 'local' 3i I see has rot creeping all over it. The mere mention of the words 'sunroof' and 'battery tray' brings owners out in a cold sweat.

foreverford255 · 25-05-2008, 02:22 PM

a little update on my bonus
just put avo 30mm kit on and the rs rear drums its made a huge difference to handling

before

and after

cheers
mick

Tonyt1t · 28-05-2008, 10:42 AM

so glad tos ee this topic back open!!

and in regards to why the less performance models seem to last longer its because old people have them sat in a garage for 15 odd years looooool!!

we currently have a bonus sleeper in the build process which is slightly worse for wear but should be good fun

foreverford255 · 03-06-2008, 08:18 PM

get some pics up tony

itll be nice to see another sleeper on its way

cheers

That was a very good shell chap, one of the best I've seen! Shame about the shite engine conversion that company did

bonus_boy · 13-06-2008, 02:37 PM

tell me about it..

it was abit of a shoddy conversion, i wouldnt say it was very bad conversion at all to be honest, but for the money i spent it should have been alot better...

phil_rs · 13-06-2008, 03:13 PM

For the money you spent mate I could have built you a proper weapon! Anyway I could do with that money you owe me

749steve · 13-06-2008, 07:40 PM

im on the lookout for another basemodel if anyone has one for sale

foreverford255 · 17-06-2008, 07:30 PM

ill keep my eyes peeled fella

90escort1300 · 27-06-2008, 04:12 PM

hi all, just after your opinions. since i got my mk4 i have always wanted white alloys on it. so which do i buy? i would like to keep to genuine ford alloys but i love 5 spoke mo's. but quite handly i have a set of s2 and gti alloys. what road do you think i shoul go down? money is also a big factor which is why im unsure about the mo's at £700.

cheers stu
