Complete rebuilt 2wd engine, with stage 3 setup



Some lovely fog lights..:P

Tinted windows..

Custom gearbox mounting


Then the job is on..
The rear hatch was rusted so desicion was to get rid of it and get a new one.
Lucky me broke the window when trying to take it out.



Mint turbospoiler.

Took of the bumper ect.

Got the car in the garage and on jack stands

Mounted vented brakes with spaced put calipers.
