with a proper 3dr kit, wheels, and none of that tacky mesh, it would look COOL

if the engine has been fitted correctly, and is running good, then the hard work is done

combat kit
looks nice if it's screwed on properly
but that's not so it looks wank

no pictures of this 5 litre v8 either but i think the clutch adjusment might mean adjusting it out of the flywheel

Given that the guy:
Doesnt realise a combat kit looks shite
Cant engine manage to fit said combat kit
Isnt able to sort the clutch
And is so ashamed of the engine he wont post a picture of it.


I would say you are a bit of an optimist

the only bit of rust visable is on the top corner of the drivers door (in pic) the car was a soild shell when the kit was put on (about 4years ago) if any rust at all it would be very minor as there is no gap to let water in,as far as i no the car hasent been welded, ill sent u some pics of the engine asap.
this is the reply he sent will send any pics if i get them?

Do you not think the kit looks a lot like a reiger kit for the cally?

Edit :- Wait maybe i'm on crack... Now i'm seeing a hint of LC about the arches..

Especially in this picture..
