JiP Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Looks great manOH MAY GOD THOSE PLATES ARE HUGE!! Is that so the cops can read your numbers from extra far way?? It almost looks like someone sprayed those numbers on with a stencil. Back on topic, whats next on the cards?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle silvia Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 LOL Those No. Plates are actually the same size as Jap ones but with standard UK sized lettering!! I have found a company making plates the same as this but In pressed steel!! Should keep the Retro theme going :no2: Next on the cars is already happening! I painted the grey bit on the rear under the bumper white to match the rest of the car, only the front valence and a few bits on the arch to do now!! :P Next will be a bit of maintenance as the head gasket is leaking a bit of oil outwards so I may as well get it done! Good opertunity to clean out the head :D Then It will be on to lowering the beast! Havent decided to go for just springs for now or try and find the parts to convert to coilovers!! That would takea bit longer!! Cheers for you comments!! :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78_7kRolla Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Mate, looking sweet. Will look even better once lowered. So the radiators are smaller on your models because (i'm presuming) of the colder temperatures right? Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 that radiator isnt smaller though, its just shifted left. does it get full airflow or is most of the airflow to it blocked by the panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
